lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would also like to draw the attention of the Portuguese Presidency to the fact that the aim of Article 8 of our resolution is, from within the European Parliament, to make a positive contribution to resolving the running conflict with Austria. Needless to say, we are addressing you personally in your role of Portuguese Presidency. We want at all costs to avoid this becoming an EU-wide issue or its becoming a formal item on the agenda. But we hope that you, in a creative manner and on an informal basis, will manage to find ways to talk about this at Feira. My group chairman has made reference to the situation in Denmark, namely the euro referendum. Let us also look at the possible consequences if your efforts were not to lead to solutions. In my opinion, we will need to establish in time within the European Union that Feira has been a historic opportunity to solve this issue. I am therefore urging you to also assess the actions of the Austrian Government and to look for creative solutions in order to break the deadlock. Mr President, many have already pointed to the need for enlargement and the fear that has swept countries in Central and Eastern Europe that, with regard to the IGC, too little progress is being made and that, along with this, the chance for rapid enlargement will pass. I would advise you to let the political will prevail in Feira too in order to let the enlargement go ahead. Finally, Mr President, good governance is all well and good in theory, but let us also look at what is happening in practice. If the Kosovo agency in Thessaloniki is still caught up in so much red-tape that funding cannot be made available, then this is extremely serious. I would also call on the Portuguese Presidency to find a solution to this."@en1
