lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should like to declare myself in favour of Mr Poettering’s proposal. I should like to say that my own group is in favour not only of “selling” enlargement or other major projects to public opinion but also of getting our fellow citizens closely involved in all the major phases of European construction, including by means of referenda. We are, however, totally opposed to the idea of using the referendum as a sort of threat which could be abused by some “stirrers”, exploiting fears and, in particular, unwillingness to open up to others. Consequently, in order to ensure that enlargement is a success in the eyes of public opinion in our respective countries and in the eyes of the citizens of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, I am in favour of dispelling any misunderstanding, and thus of giving Commissioner Verheugen the opportunity to offer Parliament a clear explanation."@en1
