lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, which is scheduled for January 2007, could be postponed due to the corruption that the Commission would have us believe is rife in those two countries. Such concern is altogether commendable. Before they start preaching, however, ought not some of our governments, including the one in France, to first put their own houses in order? Romania and Bulgaria are authentic European nations and are all the more worthy for having been subjected to the Turkish occupation between the 16th and 19th centuries, and then Communism from 1945 to 1990. That is why we are putting them on their guard against another form of oppression, which is less brutal but just as dangerous: the Europe of Brussels, which has no borders, destroys our national freedoms and identities and opens its gates to Islamic Turkey by denying the Christian origins of our civilisation. Since the vote cast by the people of France and of the Netherlands in 2005, that version of Europe no longer has any democratic legitimacy. It is time that all the European nations came together to build another Europe, the Europe of nations."@en1
