"In December last year I told this House that the European Union should honour its undertakings and acknowledge the progress that Turkey has made. Today I would like to repeat this appeal. As stated in the resolution we are about to vote on, Turkey has formally met all the conditions for accession talks to begin on 3 October.
These accession talks will mark the beginning of a long and open-ended process. In the first instance it will be up to our Turkish friends to demonstrate that they are capable of meeting all the requirements and criteria that the countries that became members of the European Union last year also had to meet. These include political requirements, human and civil rights issues, economic preparations and many more conditions, but I believe and am of the view that the European Union should give our Turkish friends a chance, and try to overcome this obstacle, which many people regard as very serious."@en1
