lpv:translated text	"Turkey is a strategic partner for the EU. It is a key economic partner, with an economy that has tripled in volume over the last 10 years. While trade between the EU and Turkey totalled EUR 103 billion in 2010, Turkey became the EU’s seventh largest trading partner. Then, Turkey is an essential country for the security and prosperity of the EU (major energy corridor for Caucasian and Caspian oil and gas resources, strategic proximity to Iraq). Finally, it is an important regional actor, a strategic partner for our neighbourhood policy. However, it has to be said that freedom of expression, media pluralism, democracy, the rule of law and the right to a fair trial, which are at the heart of our European values, are still far from being respected. Therefore, the most consistent position is to stick to an extended and strengthened strategic partnership with Turkey. As it is not in Europe, Turkey has no vocation to join the European Union, which must constitute a coherent geographical entity. I therefore decided to vote against this motion for a resolution."@en1
