"Mr President, just a warning: in one minute there is no time for subtleties and so I am speaking solely on my own behalf.
Enlargement has not always been successful. The political elites of four or five countries in the latest 2004 enlargement have not, in my view, either understood or taken on board European policy or the Community
. They are prioritising relations with the United States and placing more emphasis on NATO than on a genuine and secure process of integration with the European Union.
There can be no more enlargements until the Lisbon Treaty comes into force.
Current negotiations with candidate countries should continue without interruption but I emphatically believe that those negotiations should not be closed until the Lisbon Treaty is approved.
Finally, we should not prevent those countries which want to progress further from being impeded by the more Eurosceptic, nationalist or sovereignty-seeking countries."@en1
