lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too should like to take my turn in thanking the President-in-Office of the Council and Commissioner Frattini for their reports. However, I should like to express the particular concern that, three years after the decisions by the Thessaloniki European Council, there has been no progress in changes to the visa system. I believe that what the President-in-Office of the Council and Commissioner Frattini have told us today is, of course, positive but, Commissioner, we cannot wait until the end of 2007 to complete the procedure for changing the visa system. I fear that the end of 2007 will be far too late. The problem is not procedural, it is deeply political. It is a problem of the strategic credibility of the European Union. It is a problem of contributing to peace, to stability, to cooperation, to the strengthening of the European integration of the countries of the Western Balkans. In fact, no one can understand why negotiations have started with Russia, China and Ukraine but not with the countries of the Western Balkans, why the system is much simplified for entry visas to the European Union from Pakistan and Iran, for young people from Pakistan and Iran, but not for young people from the Western Balkans. Why, Commissioner, have visa fees been increased to EUR 60? I understand what you said now, that they will not apply if agreements are signed. However, I fear that 2007 is far too late. I believe that the increase should not apply for these countries as of now. I believe ultimately that the European Union must send a strong message, say no to the ghettoisation ..."@en1
