lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is fantastic to live through this exciting period in the history of Europe when we are finally unifying the continent. I hope that, in just a few years’ time, our new friends and colleagues will be able to sit down here with us in the Chamber instead of just listening from the gallery. We shall then be able to unite in solving the problems that exist and in creating good conditions of life for the citizens of Europe, and not before time. It will soon be twelve years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and many Europeans promised that those countries which had finally thrown off the yoke of communism would quickly be able to obtain membership of the EU. There is still a great deal to do, and this is also described in the excellent reports we are discussing today. Great progress is being made, and I am delighted that the Belgian presidency has such lofty ambitions. It is important that no more demands should be made now. There is more than a little to do in the EU, as well. Many of us are disappointed at the poor result from Nice and hope that Laeken will prove to be very ambitious. Integration is a mutual process that requires efforts on the part both of ourselves and of the future Member States. However, we together have a huge task in convincing the population in all the countries of the practical benefits of a united Europe. It is also a question of communicating pride in the Europe we have built so far and the Europe we shall build together."@en1
