lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the proximity policy for the enlarged Europe, which has just been discussed by the Council and the Commission, would appear to be very interesting as it forms part of a new, more flexible approach, the approach of general cooperation that is graduated and differentiated, adapted to the situation of each neighbour country. At this stage, however, four questions come to mind. Firstly, the content of the neighbourhood agreements has at times been defined by the expression ‘everything except the institutions’, which may be mistakenly interpreted as meaning ‘everything except decision-making power’. This ambiguity must be clarified. Secondly, once again with regard to the content, there has also been talk of giving priority to extending the single market’s four freedoms of movement. Is it not very rash to make this commitment in advance? It is all too clear that other objectives are much more pressing, for instance security. Thirdly, the new proximity policy seems to have to be limited to non-candidate neighbouring countries. Turkey is not included in this list, but it is difficult to know why that is the case as its accession has not yet been officially approved. Fourthly, in this proximity policy, the European Union is not starting from scratch. It is not starting from square one as the current Members already have relations with their neighbours, particularly those with which they share borders. How is the European policy going to work in relation to the existing national policies? Should the Member countries which are the immediate neighbours of these countries not be given a decisive role or a special right of consultation as regards the new European policy?"@en1
