"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have debated a great deal over the last 10 years about whether the European Union should be enlarged or deepened. Today we know the answer: we have to enlarge and deepen the European Union. However, it would be unacceptable if any deepening after enlargement were to result in renewed divisions. To this end it is not just the European Union that has to demonstrate it remains open to non-euro area countries; the countries of the euro area also have to show that they want this process, they have to show their peoples that they want this process. This would have been my question to Ms Gáll-Pelcz. I am convinced that we have to encourage non-euro area governments to step out of their own shadows, distance themselves from their own weaknesses and do everything to become equal members within the European community. This is in the interests of their own populations, and we have to concentrate all our efforts on this. I would like to congratulate the rapporteur; I think this train of thought can be identified in her report too. So once again, Europe has to stay open, and we need to head in that direction."@en1
