lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the new buzz-phrase ‘absorption capacity’ has filled newspaper columns all over Europe. What does this phrase actually mean? Is it just a codeword for ‘Operation Stop Turkey’? Does it not show an exceptional lack of leadership and a failure to support and explain the advantages of enlargement? We can see, after all, that trade, growth and consumption have all risen since May 2004. Stability and democracy have been strengthened, and Europe is better equipped to face our common problems. Expansion must not be used as a scapegoat. Political leadership means forming, leading and shaping opinion. I welcome the moves to increase openness made at the meeting of the European Council in Brussels, but I regret that the question of the seat of the European Parliament was not raised. This matter is an important question of credibility for the whole of the EU and it needs to be discussed in the course of the upcoming overhaul of the Treaties. So far, over 610 000 people from all over Europe have signed the citizens’ initiative for there to be a single seat for the European Parliament. If you ask the people for their opinion, you must also listen to what they say. Chancellor Schüssel, have you signed the proposal?"@en1
