lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I should like to thank you for your tribute to Louise Weiss, whose name this building bears. Your tribute was extremely moving. You have reminded us that your country is a part of the living reality of Europe, not only of its historical and geographical reality, but also its cultural reality. I can tell you that we in the European Parliament have always been convinced of this. Indeed, the European Parliament has watched the process of Europe’s reunification with great enthusiasm. The Treaty of Nice, which was concluded in December of last year, even if people’s appreciation of certain parts of it varied, at least had the merit of opening up the way to enlargement, to the reunification of Europe, which all of us here are delighted to see. We heard your great determination to pursue difficult economic reforms, your determination to adapt your legislation, your determination to resolve the problem of minorities, which you know is an issue close to the heart of our Parliament, and lastly, your determination to join us as quickly as possible. I must tell you that I, or rather we, felt that we broadly share the same great objectives for the future, the same concept of the European Union. Discussions have already begun, as you mentioned, and are expected to conclude in 2004. You may rest assured, Mr President, that Parliament’s desire is, of course, to see the applicant countries closely involved in these discussions. You said that you would assume full responsibility, which is indeed great. We clearly heard your message and I can tell you that you really do have the full support of the European Parliament. Mr President, we look forward to hearing the beautiful Slovak language very soon in our Parliament. Thank you once again."@en1
