lpv:translated text	"I considered it necessary to support the report on the progress report on Turkey because it clearly reveals the developments in, and shortcomings of, the accession-related negotiations and reforms between the European Union and Turkey, which have now been under way for seven years. Turkey is undoubtedly a country of great strategic importance for the European Union – its position as an energy corridor for Europe, its rapid economic growth and its role as an influential trade partner compels and motivates Europe to place a high priority on accession negotiations. At present, however, there are aspects of Turkey’s internal situation to which one cannot turn a blind eye, for instance, unjustifiably long pre-trial detention periods, restrictions on journalistic freedom and freedom of expression, child poverty, violence against women, etc. In addition, this report reveals the problems that still prevail between Turkey and Cyprus and the need to begin negotiations for the reunification of Cyprus and the withdrawal of Turkish forces from the region, which I consider to be important preconditions for the improvement of cooperation and relations between the European Union and Turkey."@en1
