"Mr President, I should like to start by congratulating the rapporteur, Mr Eurlings, on his excellent work and on the spirit of cooperation which he has demonstrated throughout the procedure.
Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we say yes to Turkey's European prospects. At the same time, however, we would remind you that these prospects are connected with compliance with the political and financial criteria analysed in the texts of the conclusions of the European Councils from Copenhagen to Helsinki and in Brussels in a few days' time.
Examining the report, I should like to comment in particular on certain paragraphs, such as:
paragraph 37, which creates the framework for the defence of and respect for the rights of minorities among which, of course, the Greeks in Istanbul, Imvros and Tenedos are the most important;
paragraph 38, which lists the preconditions and, more importantly, what Turkey has to do in relation to Cyprus: mainly, to recognise the Republic of Cyprus and to withdraw Turkish forces from the northern part of Cyprus;
paragraph 40, which presents a multi-dimensional methodological approach to the resolution of any outstanding disputes with neighbouring states and, of course, which mentions the obligation to abstain from threats and provocation. This paragraph also covers relations between Greece and Turkey.
Finally, I recommend that the House vote in favour of the Eurlings report."@en1
