lpv:translated text	"President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, like all the speakers, I would like to begin by congratulating you on the main outcome of the Copenhagen Summit, namely the enlargement of the Union or, to put it more accurately, the reunification of Europe. It is true that a number of practical difficulties lie before us, but we are heading in the right direction on the whole, and by this, I am referring not only to the first ten candidate countries, but also to Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. There is another section of the summit results which deserves our attention, namely that relating to the European security and defence policy. The European Council has made progress on three dossiers. First of all, that on relations between the European Union and NATO. For months, there had been no progress on the issue of the Union’s use of NATO capabilities and resources. Permanent solutions have been found: this is a step forward that was needed. We also welcome the confirmation that the Union is prepared to replace the military operation in Macedonia as soon as possible. Lastly, the European Council also indicated that the Union was willing to carry out a military operation in Bosnia following on from SFOR’s activities. European ambitions are, admittedly, still modest in these three areas, but they at least constitute concrete steps forward. We now must hope that the Council, the Commission and the Convention on the Future of Europe, each working within its own area of competence, help to bring to life a genuine European foreign policy and a genuine ESDP. One final, brief point, on a less optimistic note, regarding the timetable of the Convention and the IGC on the future of Europe. Not only has the summit failed to give any clarification, it has in fact added to the confusion. This timetable is very important, however, for the success of the reform and for the European Parliament."@en1
