lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office of the European Council, Chancellor, you received sustained applause to your inaugural speech, which is important. However, it is equally important that you receive the same sustained applause in your farewell speech in six months' time. Many have received a great deal of applause and been sent off with their tail between their legs, such as Mr Blair from Great Britain. So if you are to receive a good round of applause at the end of your term of office, you will need to remain consistent in your opinions, with the consistency for which Germany has been known in the past and which we have seen fail recently. You have changed opinion several times on Turkey; I would like to believe that you will remain consistent in one view. We at least need that because, just yesterday, your ambassador called on Turkey in Ankara, saying that we would finance trade in the occupied area. You come from a country which is almost occupied and you know what occupation means. So will you finance the occupying army? Call for the occupying army to leave Cyprus and openly finance the northern part of Cyprus. You cannot, however, finance the occupying army. You must also make sure that there are equal rights. Here in this Chamber we have a German President, a German chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a German leader of the socialist opposition and even a German leader of the Greens. There should be equality for all groups. So demonstrate respect for the smaller countries and you will make progress. To close, I have this to say: Madam Chancellor, remember that Moscow is a two-hour flight from Berlin, while Washington is nine hours away."@en1
