lpv:spoken text	". – Those who oppose the European Union would like to use the events of the last couple of months to highlight disagreement and discord between the existing Member States of the European Union. We all know that the last two to three months have been an enduring exercise for political leaders within the EU. But the enlargement of the European Union is a real success story. We all have a right to be proud to be in a position today to formally approve the Accession Treaties for ten countries seeking to join the European Union. EU Enlargement is a win-win situation for the European Union and for the people of the applicant states. I believe that EU Enlargement will help to build a more effective European Union. It will certainly consolidate democratic structures in Europe, while at the same time strengthening the economy of an expanding European Union. This historic process will have a positive impact for the actual cohesion of the European Union itself. I am hopeful that the ten applicant countries will be in a position to fully join the European Union on May 1st 2004 next."@en1
