lpv:translated text	". The European Parliament has today voted for the accession of ten new Member States to the European Union. This does not mean our work is done of course. There is still much to be done in the accession countries, including the development of a properly functioning administrative and legal organisation and the combating of corruption. Monitoring too must be taken seriously. I regret that we, who for many years have been helping to prepare and encourage enlargement, have not revised our competence and decision-making mechanisms to make ourselves efficient and effective, both within the European Union and in the area of common foreign and security policy. I regret that in Nice we missed the opportunity to implement this treaty change. And yet I voted in favour. The political scope we had in 1994 to put the Council under pressure with the European Parliament and to demand deepening of the European Union prior to its enlargement no longer exists. This enlargement, which is of a different order, is again essentially a matter of the basic principles of the European project: political stability, peace and prosperity. The accession countries and their populations have been preparing for this day for many years, in difficult conditions and with many sacrifices. These efforts and the prospect of accession have brought stability and peace in Europe. We must not upset this result today. After all, political stability, peace and security create the conditions for all other policy objectives. The consultation regarding the review of the Treaty is under way and it is in good hands. Our hope lies in the Convention. Since I have confidence in it, I am also expecting much of the next IGC and I can today vote for it ten times with conviction."@en1
