"Mr President, our discussion on the subject of Turkey is obviously far more critical and therefore significantly more open than on previous occasions. However, we should remember that we ought to ask ourselves where our fundamental interests lie. On the basis of all the key membership criteria, which do not need to be reiterated, Turkey is not fit to be a member of the European Union. We have mentioned the question of Cyprus, human and civil rights, religion and the Armenian community. However the European Union’s fundamental interest lies in countries such as Turkey or Ukraine moving closer to it. In this respect, the European Union has not been entirely honest. We have not stated openly that the accession of countries such as Turkey will, in fact, put an end to certain European Union policies, notably its economic, structural and agricultural policies. We should state openly what effects the accession of these large countries would have on the European Union, given that this slight dishonesty is not lost on our partners, including Turkey."@en1
