lpv:translated text	". Mr President, each successive enlargement of the European Union triggered a range of emotions, but to date no enlargement has caused as many misgivings amongst Europeans as the one involving Turkey. This could mean that Europeans will never consent to it. If Europeans oppose this enlargement both now and in the future, creating the mirage of full Turkish membership of the European Union will amount to creating a tremendous disappointment and upset for the government in Ankara. When the Turkish issue was first debated in the House in December 2004, I pointed out that it is abundantly obvious that all the advantages of closer economic, political and military ties with Turkey can be gained without full membership. Much has been written on this subject. I should today like to highlight a further problem linked to this enlargement, namely the loss of political and geographical balance it involves. Postponing Croatia’s membership and avoiding a statement on Ukraine’s rightful place in Europe whilst pressing forward with this process for Turkey is painful and unacceptable. It is exceedingly costly and damaging to the European Union in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and in the other countries I mentioned. Mr Schulz and Mr Poettering maintain that our capacity for absorption is limited. If so, I would prefer to use this capacity differently. The document before us is actually an attempt at blackmail, as it conditions the enlargement process to the so-called constitutional process. The Law and Justice Members will therefore abstain in the vote on the aforementioned document."@en1
