"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen
Parliament is preparing today to give its assent to extending the Ankara Agreement to the ten new Member States of the European Union. Members of the
refuse to associate themselves with this.
In actual fact, the Turkish Government was keen to emphasise that, in signing this protocol, it was under no circumstances recognising the Republic of Cyprus. In other words, the Turkish Government is denying any legal existence of a country that is a full member of this Europe in which Turkey wants to assert its presence.
In view of Turkey’s exclusion of the Republic of Cyprus, the Council Declaration of 21 September is utterly scandalous. In actual fact, the Council is not drawing any conclusions from the position adopted by the Turkish Government. It is merely asking that, in 2006, Ankara respect these commitments towards all the countries of the European Union. In the meantime, however, the reservation clause desired by Turkey will take full effect.
The only response possible would be not only to question the signing of the protocol, but also to abandon once and for all the opening of the accession negotiations with Turkey, which clearly are not the right path to take for ensuring calm and mutually beneficial relations."@en1
