lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this debate contains one overall message, namely that membership of the European Union constitutes something along the lines of maximum political good fortune for the Member States and for the EU as a whole. I wish that assumption were correct, but I am unfortunately convinced that the message of the EU project will reveal itself to be a huge and fearful illusion. Wishful thinking is an obstacle to anything approaching sober realism. A number of problems have been mentioned, but these are not the crucial ones. There are the politically inflammatory problems with the Beneš Decrees, there is the Cyprus question and there is the economy with the unsolved problems of agriculture and the Structural Funds and so forth. Then there are the set of problems concerning the budget and the fear that the candidate countries will be treated as second class Member States. However, the crucial and fundamental problems are not of course of a political and economic nature. The crucial problems arise from the fact that the process in relation to the candidate countries from Eastern Europe entails a huge transformation. It is about producing the legal framework for a transformation process of historic dimensions. Moreover, these legal problems, which may be difficult enough, of course conceal the democratic problems. The basis for the latest Copenhagen criterion is that a public administration should be brought about which effectively and correctly administers, applies and implements Community legislation. There is no information in the existing reports concerning this huge problem. And even if an effective legal administration, able to implement the transformation, is obtained, it will be democratically compromising, for how are the people to be involved in this process? The moment of truth is approaching."@en1
