lpv:translated text	"Today the European Union is faced with such important internal and external challenges that it is not enough for the country currently holding the Presidency merely to continue with the work already begun. Does the Presidency’s proposed work programme reflect the essential tasks for the European Union? In my view, the Presidency has pointed out accurately enough those problems which, unresolved, make it difficult to conceive of further successful development of the European Union. Clear answers must be found to the fundamental questions concerning the limits of the European Union’s enlargement and the extent of integration. This would make it possible to return to the debates on the Constitution with an altered level of mutual understanding. In the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy now is the last chance to match the intensity of day-to-day activities with the deadlines for its completion. A decision regarding the liberalisation of the services sector would not only open up new sources of economic activity within the context of the European Union market, but would also be the most significant support for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises that the European Union can provide. Strategic decisions in the field of security of energy supply are also a pressing task, in order to direct business research and infrastructure development activities into a strategic channel without delay. The country currently holding the Presidency should therefore not delay in setting out the fundamental problems and directing the Member States to seek solutions to them during the period of this Presidency."@en1
