lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, in a few moments, we shall vote on the ten Accession Treaties of the new Member States of the Union. This is a huge step, and I am happy to be experiencing this moment, which is an extension of the long accession process to the European institutions that began 12 years ago, when Hungary was the first post-communist country to join the Council of Europe. Like many other Members, however, I feel a kind of vertigo on the verge of taking this decisive step, particularly because the state of the Union itself is far from satisfactory. Personally, in the name of the deep friendship that I feel for each candidate country, I also want to tell them that we are aware that we still have a long way to go and a great deal of effort to make before we understand each other fully. It is true that the Copenhagen criteria have been met and I would congratulate them on accomplishing this. The economic and democratic criteria, however, while necessary, are not enough. We do not really know each other yet. We do not yet view the world in the same way. We do not yet have the same vision of our security, our international relations, our foreign policy – in short, we still need to fill the gaps in our hearts and minds that have been created over fifty years of separation. All in all, we should be optimistic today. A new door is opening to allow a large family reunion with members coming home from far and wide."@en1
