"Mr President, the European Commission’s report is perfectly clear on the situation in this neighbouring country and, of course, recommends the opening of accession negotiations.
Everyone who has commented on this issue has maintained that a supposedly bilateral difference cannot prevent a country from joining the European Union. However, the problem is not the name; it is the propaganda, the attempt to backdate the problem and the attempt to fly in the face of history and logic.
Everyone who maintains that, for the sake of stability, we should forget this issue, as a result of which young people are being taught a rewritten version of the facts, is sorely mistaken. We cannot accept, and no Greek Government can accept, despite the economic problems – because I caught the hint made by my colleague – that accession negotiations can be opened with this country before the problem has been resolved.
May I remind you that the Council alone is responsible for this issue and I therefore consider that, instead of encouraging this country to persist in its unbelievable propaganda, which stems from its old historic status (I refer to the communist bloc and its plans), it would be better if you told this country exactly what it must do if it wants good neighbourly relations with other countries."@en1
