"Mr President, this House has always been a strong supporter of enlargement and although I have some critical remarks concerning this report, I am glad that it confirms our commitment to enlargement strongly.
I think it is important to talk about strengthening enlargement policy right now, yet I still think that with this report we are missing an opportunity to do so more concretely and more coherently. As a committed supporter of enlargement, I think that we should have a clear and sharp vision in this respect. This is for our future’s sake and for the sake of the accession countries. We need to be able to articulate problems and show the direction.
Enlargement has been a successful process so far. Despite the challenges the Union and the accession countries are facing now, I still believe it could bring further benefits to us all. The EU therefore has to strengthen its position in this process. If we want to drive the process forward, we need to show the ability to contribute substantially to the solution of such critical issues like the name issue of Macedonia, Kosovo or the future of Bosnia Herzegovina. It is good that things are moving on, yet we need stronger commitment and a clear vision not just to move things but also to achieve goals."@en1
