lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I think the best antidote to euroscepticism, which is rather rife at the moment, is to have countries actually wanting to join the European Union. Together with Croatia next year, there are a number of candidate countries and now we are discussing FYROM. The name FYROM is unfortunate. While, from a distance, it does not make sense, I can understand for those closer to it that they may have issues. At the same time, to call anything ‘former’ is not very complimentary. If my country was called ‘the former British colony of Ireland’, I do not think we would be too happy. I think we should set a deadline by which this is to be resolved so that the name reflects its current status rather than the former one. Moving on from there, we should get it to comply with the Copenhagen criteria on issues such as the economy, media, women’s rights, children’s rights and so forth. I look forward to FYROM, with a proper name, joining the European Union."@en1
