lpv:translated text	"Mr President, two topics in one minute. First topic: there are still major deficiencies in the social sphere, including in the country I myself am monitoring, namely Latvia. I believe it is important to understand that a modern society is most successful if there is a partnership between politicians and the two sides of the labour market. That is why we must not forget the social dialogue. It is not merely the internal market which is important for enlargement. Second topic: there is a positive spirit at present, and this must continue. We must not believe that enlargement will be without its problems, and we cannot expect enlargement to be nice and easy. It will have its shortcomings; there will be untidiness and incoherence; there will be lengthy transitional arrangements; and there will be no thorough agricultural reform and no complete structural reform. I am not saying that we must accept everything. I believe, however, that we must contrive to show magnanimity and that we are obliged to accept that enlargement will be messy and untidy. Naturally, we must comply with the Copenhagen criteria, but we must count on enlargement’s not being as seamless as we perhaps might have hoped. I hope that we go for major enlargement, show magnanimity and obtain the ‘big bang’ in 2003."@en1
