lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, when I discuss the issue of enlargement with my constituents, many of them raise concerns about some of the previous enlargements. They worry about certain Member States that were let in which, they feel, had not addressed issues such as corruption and property rights. I get many letters from constituents from Member States who joined many years ago, in particular the rights of property holders in Spain, as many of my constituents see their property rights undermined and often lose their life savings. I get similar letters from people in Cyprus and from property-owners in Bulgaria. Leaving that aside, let us look at the picture in Croatia at the moment. The issues that people write to me about quite often are those of press freedom, corruption and property rights. It is important that we do not just brush these under the carpet and say ‘do not worry about it; it will all be sorted out in due course’. These countries and new Member States which apply for membership of the EU need to reassure us over these concerns so that they are not problems we inherit when the EU enlarges and they do not cause problems for the citizens of existing EU Member States."@en1
