lpv:translated text	"After the men’s turn it is evidently the women’s turn. Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to congratulate you on the result – although I do not have so much time that I can stand and eulogise. Enlargement by ten new countries can now become a reality, as Mr Rasmussen has said, after fifty years of growth, prosperity and, in particular, peace. An excellent result, but will we now be able to deliver the goods for some 500 million people? Is this in fact possible? Will we be able to develop institutions that are democratic, transparent and efficient? We have not been particularly successful in doing so thus far, and we do not have much time in which to accomplish it. Mr Prodi said that integration must now become a reality, and I found that a particularly significant statement. Have you not, however, really underestimated the costs involved? Are the European institutions sufficiently credible? Not in our citizens’ eyes, according to the opinion polls. Should we not make more efforts in this regard? Or are we going to leave that all up to the Convention? Enlargement will increase your credibility, but at the same time there will be a greater expectation that things will remain as good as they always have been for all citizens, including those in the present European Union, when it comes to peace, prosperity and, in particular, solidarity. The question of Turkey’s accession is first and foremost a matter for Turkey itself. Turkey must develop her democracy in such a way that the different peoples, including the Kurds, can feel at home there. Finally, we cannot view this question separately from the issue of how we view our borders. Do we really see the European Union – and I do mean the European Union – as sharing borders with Iran, Iraq and Syria? Is this what we are called to? You will have to convince the public. You will also have to convince me because I do not believe that we are in a position to develop the institutions we would need for this…"@en1
