"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I am naturally not entirely satisfied with your response. That is hardly surprising. I do have some understanding for the time aspect. It is important for matters to be looked into thoroughly, but I share your view entirely that paper is not sufficient. There is a saying in Dutch, ‘
’ [paper can wait], and I am certain that this proverb also exists in other languages. Implementation is the most important aspect, and the inspectorates should therefore show a very high level of independence in order to actually monitor implementation. Indeed, we often note that candidate countries go out of their way to create the impression that all is well. Turkey is, in fact, unable to do this at the moment, for extremely tragic events are unfolding in Turkish prisons, and – although I do not wish to discuss this now – there are still people who are risking their lives, or having them endangered by others, on a daily basis because no dialogue is being entered into. This approach seems to be at odds with the sound measures taken on behalf of minorities. I hope that the Troika can be firm but fair in its conclusions."@en1
