"Mr President, as regards the dialectic relationship between consolidating, deepening and enlarging, Mr Brok has covered my point.
It is a joint challenge.
Allow me to focus my speech on the creative role of Greece, as a factor of political and economic stability in the area, a role which I trust is visible and known.
First, we gave real support to the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union. We were the first to ratify the accession acts of these two countries to the European Union.
Secondly, we supported the European orientation of Turkey, with the prospect of its complying with international law and the
. Nonetheless, the occupation of territory in the Cyprus Republic, the
violation of Greek airspace, the campaign against religious freedom and the threats against the Ecumenical Patriarchate continue.
Thirdly, Albania is being largely maintained economically by the currency imported by its citizens working in Greece. Greece, as a host country for immigrants is, on a pro rata basis, the first country in the European Union, on the basis of the size of its population.
Fourthly, we support the European orientation of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
The Commissioner recently emphasised in Skopje that Greece is the biggest investor in this country; this is true and I was delighted to hear it. In return, Mr Swoboda, we are on the receiving end of intransigence on the question of the name, propaganda which disregards history and historical and cultural aggression.
Why do we support the European prospects of the countries in our region is the logical question. It is because we seek the diffusion and consolidation of peace, stability and prosperity in the area as a whole.
Ladies and gentlemen, full acceptance and application of the principles, values and rules of the Union are the responsibility of the countries in question. However, it is the right of the European Union, of all its political and institutional agencies and of its Member States to control the course of their integration."@en1
