lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Council's enlargement strategy is wide of the mark. There is discrimination against Croatia, a central European country which meets the criteria better than many a Member State. Romania, a manifestly European country, but one which fails to meet the criteria by a long chalk, is being rushed through, as it were. Ukraine, certainly a European country, but one which will not be ready to accede for decades and which we too shall not be ready to accept within the next few years, has been put off until heaven knows when; no specific strategy is being developed. Yet with a clearly non-European country such as Turkey, accession negotiations are to commence this year. I really must call on the Council to rethink this strategy thoroughly and to ensure first of all that the green light is given for accession negotiations with Croatia without delay – by 21 May at the latest – and that the working party generously set up as a result of your intervention, Mr President-in-Office, reaches a result without delay. Secondly, I should like to call on you to indeed allow Romania and Bulgaria to accede by the deadline set, but to give us the chance to wait until the autumn, until the corresponding progress reports are available. Thirdly, I should like to call on you, once Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia have joined, to grant the EU a long breathing space for the internal consolidation it so urgently needs. Furthermore, I should like to call on you to prevent accession negotiations with Turkey, which will overtax and overstretch the EU, from commencing in the autumn, and to develop a good neighbourhood strategy here and also to develop a concept for Ukraine. Otherwise, what came out of the Orange Revolution will also fail, and that would have serious repercussions for Europe."@en1
