lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I voted in favour of the resolution and now I would like to express my strong support for the opening of EU accession talks with Iceland and for its eventual membership of the Union. Iceland is, without a doubt, a European country with a strong democratic culture, a robust human rights system and a developed economy. Indeed, the time has come for the EU to expand into areas that fulfil democratic, geographical and other criteria for accession to the EU. The enlargement of the EU should not stop now, as there are still other European countries on the waiting list, such as Croatia and other Balkan countries, and – possibly and hopefully – one day even Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus. We should not forget that the enlargement of the EU has been its most successful foreign policy instrument, having completely transformed the political and economic landscape and the wider European continent. Let us again set the process in motion, with Iceland being the first post-Lisbon newcomer to the EU."@en1
