lpv:spoken text	"The Commission respects the position taken by the Member States, and the Member States have decided unanimously to have negotiations with Turkey. We are fulfilling the mandate we received for negotiating on behalf of the Member States with Turkey and with other candidate countries. It is important to know that this was a unanimous decision by the Member States. It was not an invention of the Commission. There was a unanimous decision by the Member States to negotiate with Turkey, and others, the possibility of their accession. It is quite clear that Turkey is not ready for accession – neither are we to give them membership – but we should keep negotiating in the spirit of good faith with all the candidate countries. Regarding the comments made by Mr Van Rompuy, I usually do not comment on comments. As President of the Council, he was very clear that he will also respect the mandate that he receives from the Member States."@en1
