"The entry of nine Member States is a significant step forward in the field of integration, both for the European Union and for the Member States concerned. There will finally be a tangible benefit for citizens from membership of the European Union. Thanks for this are due to the Portuguese Presidency, which has done everything for us to join at the planned date, in 2007, even though there were attempts to prevent this. The Member States concerned are also due recognition for making great efforts to fulfil the stringent criteria and conditions.
It is very important that no new iron curtain should fall between the countries that have just joined and their neighbouring countries. The agreements on easing visa procedures and local border traffic might be a great help in this, but the ultimate goal in any case is to achieve visa exemption. A specific, realistic timetable is needed for this, to enable the creation of visa exemption as soon as possible. Thank you."@en1
