lpv:spoken text	"The ECR Group is very much in favour of EU enlargement. We believe it is one of the more successful aspects of EU policy, provided it is carried out according to rigorous criteria and that lessons are learned from other recent accessions. For this reason, we voted in favour of this resolution. However, we believe there are serious issues which still need to be resolved before Croatia accedes to the EU. Corruption and judicial reform have not been properly addressed. We are also concerned about media freedom, the prevalence of organised crime and the massive backlog of court cases. Furthermore, there are still unresolved border issues with Croatia's neighbours and we do not wish to see these imported into the EU. We do not wish to see Croatia then blocking the aspirations of other candidates. We already suffer from examples of this elsewhere."@en1
