lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in actual fact, it is not really necessary to take stock of the activities of the current Prodi Commission, although much could be said about it. I think that we could easily fill a whole sitting with the Eurostat issue alone, for example. However, that will be unnecessary because last week, the Prodi Commission pronounced what I regard as a damning final verdict about itself with its own advice about Turkey’s possible accession to the European Union. Indeed, in doing so, the Commission performed the ultimate anti-European act. The EU’s previous enlargement to include countries of former eastern Europe is open to criticism as regards its timescale or some of the modalities involved, but nobody challenges the principle that those eastern European countries belong to the common European civilisation. This favourable response to Turkey, however, a country that is not European, whether in geographical, political, cultural, historical or religious terms, is worse than a mistake. It is a crime against the true European idea."@en1
