lpv:spoken text	". Madam President, I very much look forward to the outcome of the Göteborg European Council. It marks the end of an impressive presidency by the Swedish Government and I congratulate my Swedish colleagues. The Göteborg meeting of the Heads of State and Government will primarily be about enlargement. The most important issue for this summit is to achieve a breakthrough in the enlargement negotiations. The challenge for Europe in the 1980s was to build a single market. The challenge in the 1990s was to create a single currency. The challenge at the beginning of this millennium is to enlarge the EU in a way that creates stability, peace and prosperity for all. Enlargement is crucial for increasing trade, employment and prosperity for all, for helping to improve environmental standards and reducing cross-border pollution, for promoting effective cooperation in the fight against crime and drugs, for improving minority rights, and for enhancing peace, democracy and stability in Europe. This is an important message to take to our citizens in the European Union, who should be aware of the advantages and consequences of enlargement. I very much hope that this Summit also makes strong progress on the issue of the environment. Environmental issues are a top priority for our citizens across the European Union. We need to prioritise limiting climate changes and take clear leadership in global cooperation. We also need to agree on working towards concrete goals for the use of clean energy sources, a sustainable transport system, tackling threats to public health and improving our use of natural resources. To make Europe truly a people's Europe, we must "green up" our act and look closely at an innovative strategy for sustainable development. Furthermore, we must tell people about the biggest challenge currently facing the European Union and its citizens, namely enlargement. For far too long we have not told them this story, and it is high time we let them know. After all, it is a good story to tell."@en1
