"I voted in favour of the motion for a resolution to wind up the debate on statements by the Council and the Commission pursuant to Rule 110(2) of the Rules of Procedure on the 2011 progress report on Turkey because I firmly believe that procedures for accession by Turkey should proceed faster and in a manner that unlocks the current stall. Today, Turkey represents a fundamental partner of the EU and the accession negotiations have not been dealt with in a consistent and balanced way. The Copenhagen criteria have to be considered as the only valuable guidelines for any evaluation of progress made by Turkey in complying with the EU
. Parliament should firmly reject the attempt made by conservative and reactionary groups and parties throughout Europe to create obstacles to any serious discussion regarding Turkey’s accession on a merely political and populist base. The future of the European Union depends on its capacity to be inclusive, open to intercultural dialogue, and socially and economically sustainable. The accession of Turkey, once the issues as already identified have been solved, opens the way for that future to happen."@en1
