"Madam President, I should like to deliver an oral explanation of vote on behalf of my group.
Ukraine is an important European country, the democratic, constitutional, economic and social development of which must be supported, not least in the interests of the EU itself.
An enhanced agreement between Ukraine and the EU is an important means to that end.
We now need many practical steps such as accession to the WTO, a free-trade area, an enhanced neighbourhood policy and a kind of European Economic Area. People in Ukraine must be aware that democracy works to their advantage.
The extent to which the EU can hold out the prospect of a European future depends not only on the capacity of Ukraine to reform itself but also on that of the EU.
The people of Ukraine have no need of promises that may be unrealistic or that may deliver nothing in the way of practical progress in the foreseeable future.
This is why no binding pledge of EU membership can be made today, but the possibility must not be ruled out either."@en1
