lpv:translated text	"More and more European nations, following the example of the French, Germans, Greeks and Austrians, are showing their opposition to Turkey, an Asian country which is part of the Muslim world, entering Europe. The leaders of the Europe of Brussels, in particular Mr Chirac, are well aware of this. That is why they are maintaining that opening the accession negotiations would not automatically lead to Turkey’s accession. This assertion, repeated in Mr Eurlings’ report, is an untruth: since the first enlargement of 1972, every negotiation process has been followed by the accession of the candidate country. It will be the same for Turkey, especially as its Islamist leaders have warned us that they will not make any concessions. If on 17 December, against the will of the people, the European Council decides to open accession negotiations with the Turkish Government, the referendum on the European Constitution will be France’s last opportunity to avoid being swallowed up in a union that is European in name alone, and in which Turkey, the most populous country, will play a prominent part."@en1
