lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I must make an overall observation. The EU now faces the difficult challenge of successfully devising common legal rules for the newly enlarged EU and, soon, the even more enlarged EU. The demand for the rule of law must be the same in an EU both of 30 and of 25 countries. We Swedes are expected right now to extradite a 21 year-old, Kalle Jonsson, to Greece in accordance with a warrant for his arrest. Kalle Jonsson has been waiting to be tried since 2001. Is it fair that a young person should have to wait three years? The EU’s legal system is based upon mutual trust: trust in each other’s legal systems. Most people in my country believe that the EU is about trade and the internal market. They have no idea that we have to recognise each other’s court judgments, and to do so also in the further enlarged EU of the future, irrespective of, for example, the circumstances of such recognition. The EU already has – and will have more – problematic areas within its own external borders. People need, at the same time, to be given the necessary confidence in the legal systems in all the Member States. That is more difficult than obtaining popular support for the treaty. If no such popular support is successfully obtained within the scheduled time, enlargement will be delayed, legal cooperation weakened or the rule of law even tampered with. Quite simply: how is the Commission successfully to carry out this task, or is the idea of its doing so utopian and a mere dream? Finally, a sincere thank you, Mr Vitorino, for having helped bring us closer to that dream, and a sincere thank you, Mr Bourlanges, for showing that you intend trying to speed up this process."@en1
