lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the extent to which this debate interests the authors of the question can be seen from the fact that not one of them is in the Chamber any more, and so they will not have heard what Inese Vaidere has just said – that Russia’s real visa policy was a weapon it used not to foster the naturalisation process in Latvia, but to achieve quite the opposite. Unfortunately, public opinion surveys confirm that the majority of these people will never become Latvian patriots, but the majority of them are already patriots of another country. If they were to obtain power in local government, the next step would be, of course, demands for autonomy and for official status for their language. We can already see what the next steps could be, as shown by the development of the long-term situation in such places as Abkhazia and Southern Ossetia – Russian passports would be handed out in these self-governing areas. Thank you."@en1
