By supporting the principle of Turkey’s entry into the European Union, the European Parliament remains deaf to the voice of the people, who are expressing growing reservations as regards this new enlargement.
The time has come to set clear and coherent borders for the Union instead of endlessly forging ahead regardless. No serious political construction – apart from the creation of a single market – can dispense with defining the EU’s territorial outline.
In fact, nothing has been undertaken to that end. I have been arguing for years for several circles in the integration of Europe to be created: the first would be a federal circle, which would be very integrated and in which there would be agreement as regards social and fiscal convergence; the second circle would integrate the countries of Eastern Europe and enable our policies to be strengthened at a more progressive rate; and, finally, there would be a circle of cooperation and of close and strengthened partnership in which Turkey would play a full part.
Beyond that, I see no reason why we should not treat with the same consideration regions such as the Maghreb, to which a large number of the Member States are united by close links.
What is being put to us has nothing to do with this project but confirms the fact that the European project is on its way to being diluted in a vast free trade area."@en1
