"Madam President, three points. First, enlargement is in fact an historical venture, but for a new Europe, not so that certain factions can rewrite post-war history. Any attempts to do so must be rejected; they are odious, irrespective of whether they emanate from the candidate countries or from members of the Union. I detected a great deal of anxiety in Mr Verheugen's speech; I only hope it will prove to be unfounded. My second point is that we are negotiating with twelve countries. Does that mean Bulgaria and Romania have no further prospects of accession? Will their accession depend at some point on the veto of one of the present candidates? You said, Commissioner, that we have to give them some sort of clear signal, but what exactly? This lack of clarity pains me, as does the fact that nothing has been said about the accession prospects of the rest of the Balkans in the more distant future. My final point concerns Cyprus. The Commissioner has asked for Turkey to exert its influence so that some sort of solution can be found. Who is it supposed to exert this influence on? What a pity Mr de Miguel did not meet the commander of the Turkish forces when he visited the occupied part of Cyprus. He might have been able to tell us more."@en1
