lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the enlargement of the Union is a political project. The states that have applied for membership will start to say from the beginning of autumn that the terms and conditions of membership suit them and at that stage the process will be unstoppable. The EU will then have to yield to the terms imposed by Poland, the last country to resist acceptance. As for the question of financing enlargement, many net beneficiaries might feel that they are the ones that are having to pay for it. The amount they receive in net benefits from the Union will fall. In fact the budget frameworks for the years 2007 – 2013 should be drawn up while the enlargement negotiations continue so that they are aware of the situation before the decisive decisions are taken. The Treaty of Nice makes that difficult, of course, as certain net beneficiaries saw their demands for unanimous decision-making accepted at Nice. In connection with enlargement, the insistence that Ireland should hold a new referendum on the Treaty of Nice is putting unreasonable pressure on that country and clearly shows how undemocratic the EU is in its attitude to small Member States. All the necessary regulations can be recorded in the accession treaty and to Ireland we send our friendly greetings: no means no!"@en1
