lpv:translated text	"This report, by Ms Oomen-Ruijten, concerns EU enlargement to include Turkey, which the Council has awarded candidate country status. The EU has privileged relations with Turkey due, not just to its major economic growth, but also to its geostrategic importance in a region located on a key energy corridor for Europe. The EU has expressed willingness to help deliver on the reforms – specifically, drafting a new constitution following the recent elections – under way in Turkey, thereby strengthening cooperative ties and minimising tensions in the region. As such, I hope that the prospect of accession will function as an engine for reform, particularly as regards fundamental rights in relation to freedom of expression and to the judiciary. I voted for this report and I hope that the issues overshadowing Turkey-Cyprus relations will be overcome during the Cypriot Presidency in the second half of this year. This will require Turkey to withdraw the troops that have illegally occupied part of Cypriot territory for over 35 years."@en1
