lpv:translated text	"Thank you for your generosity, Mr President. Someone once said that borders are wounds that have been created by history. Nevertheless, borders are necessary. Everything has limits, and naturally the European Union must have limits, too. I was a leading advocate of enlargement, and I still am. South-Eastern Europe must be integrated into the European Union as quickly as possible. However, we must at some point put an end to this. We must shape the borders that are necessary in as tolerable and constructive a way as possible. Borders must not be abrupt and they must not divide people. They can instead connect people if they are structured in a graduated and sensible way. That is the task of neighbourhood policy, as I understand it, both in the Mediterranean and to the east. However, I am very pleased that, since the Prague summit – which was one success of the Czech Presidency, which was otherwise very turbulent – a real distinction has been made between the policy relating to the Mediterranean and that relating to our eastern neighbours. This is an old request that we here in Parliament, and I, too, have repeatedly made. We believe that this is a step in the right direction, as different issues need to be dealt with in different ways. Therefore, these three different forms of cooperation – cooperation with Russia, preferential cooperation with our eastern neighbours and special cooperation in the Mediterranean region – should be treated as separate instruments with one and the same objective. If the question were to be raised as to who should take care of these instruments, the answer is that the Commission and Parliament should take care of them, in other words the real Community institutions, and in particular Commissioner Füle, who, in my opinion, does an excellent job in this regard."@en1
