lpv:translated text	"Madam President, President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, the success of the Danish Presidency is, in my view, undeniable. That said, I hope that the Danish Presidency, that Mr Rasmussen and Mr Haarder will forgive me for pointing out two grey areas. The first is, as Mr Pasqua said, the ‘reunion’. Unfortunately, the reunion is not complete and I thank Mr Prodi for having announced, for the Thessaloniki Summit, an initiative targeting the five Balkan countries. There are also the three countries of the Caucasus: Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. There is Moldavia too and Israel. I hope that the European Union will take particular initiatives in this area. The second grey area was touched upon by Mr Poettering and Mr Cohn-Bendit, namely Chechnya. I would like to thank the Danish Presidency and, through it, the competent Danish authorities for the position which was adopted during the Zakayev affair. The Zakayev affair has not been resolved, however. There is, for the Chechen representatives and for the representatives of other oppressed people in the world, a problem regarding residence, a problem regarding freedom of movement in the European Union. I would like to urge the Danish Presidency to take an initiative in this area. Commissioner Vitorino pointed out that Article 14(3), which enabled the European Union to draw up black lists with regard to Yugoslavia in 1999, regarding Kosovo, and which has recently made it possible to draw up a black list regarding the Belorussian authorities, also provides the possibility of creating white lists, namely lists of individuals who can be offered freedom of movement and residence on European Union territory. This would make it possible to prevent unjustified and unjustifiable pressure, such as that exerted on Denmark in the last few months by the Russian Federation. I therefore urge you, President-in-Office of the Council, Mr Haarder, to investigate along with Mr Vitorino, ways, in the context of the Chechen issue, of implementing what is provided under Article 14(3) of the Treaty on European Union."@en1
