lpv:translated text	"Mr President, allow me to begin by thanking the Danish Presidency for its good work. It does not surprise me at all, but of course there are, and were, Members who doubted the Danish will and ability to carry out enlargement of the EU. This really has now come to nought. To listen to Mr Bonde, one wonders if he is not dreaming that he is back in the ‘good old days’ of the GDR. Last Monday I was in Bratislava, in Slovakia. There, it emerged that people felt very unfairly identified as an unreliable candidate country in connection with what had been said during the Dutch Government crisis. Other countries have also been named. I would like to say to Mrs Maij-Weggen that there are actually many Dutch liberals who share your opinion, as Mr Cox also quite rightly said. The last word has not been said on this subject. In order to reassure people in Bratislava, Warsaw, Riga and Vilnius, I wish to say that the President of the Council and the Commissioners confirm that there is no cause for concern. There is no information in the country reports to demonstrate that, in general, any countries are in a worse position than others. As Commissioner Verheugen emphasises, there is nothing today to show that there are any problems in any of the ten countries which cannot be solved. It is true that there are difficulties, but they are not insurmountable. I believe that it is extremely important that the Council and the Commission are clear on this subject. The historical and moral reunification of Europe is irrevocable. The EU honours its agreements. We stand our ground. I quote in Latin, which I once studied: ."@en1
