"Mr President, I have had the privilege of working for the past three years on the EU-Lithuania Joint Parliamentary Committee, where we have had to deal with several difficult issues which have already been mentioned, so I will not repeat them. The determination of the candidate countries to overcome these problems and work positively has resulted in incredible progress. For a small country like Wales, which I represent, it is also significant that many other small countries will be represented here in the European Parliament in their own right. The Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance wants a Europe in which these small nations and regions play a significant role and where, at a future date, countries like Wales will have the same rights as our friends from the ten candidate countries. They must ensure that there is respect for minorities and that further steps are taken towards regionalisation. Europe is becoming more diverse, not just economically and socially but also linguistically, culturally and politically, and we welcome this. We must work towards a real Europe of the peoples, with equal rights and equal respect for everyone."@en1
