lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, from the reports, I have the impression that I am beginning to see evidence of Europeanisation at any cost, a process which the EU is seeking to carry out in many countries whose geographical location is currently the only European thing about them. I believe this is the case with Albania, which, as the report we are debating highlights, falls short of Member State standards in a number of areas. In particular, I would like to emphasise the problems connected with the large informal economy. Convergence Objective areas receive the lion’s share of the funds granted by the European Union, and considering that those areas are determined on the basis of GNP, just imagine the distortions there will be, to the detriment of countries which are active in combating tax evasion, for instance. Furthermore, visa liberalisation will mean the arrival of a new workforce in Europe, and in view of the current economic situation and unemployment rates, the impact would definitely not be positive. In closing, I hope that careful consideration will be given to the implications of having a predominantly Muslim country that is part of the Organisation of the Islamic conference, many of the principles of which conflict with the Christian roots of Europe, as a member of the European Union."@en1
