lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, having been a bit fed up in recent days from hearing from other British parties about the EU getting smaller by one, I welcome this forward-looking constructive report about EU enlargement. I would like to address Commissioner Füle and say that we are supporting you by calling for the momentum towards enlargement to be maintained; I hope our combined commitment towards greater civil society participation will be reflected in the financial commitments for the next IPA programming period and for decentralisation to local government to be included too. When the far right in this debate focuses on absorption capacity they reveal in the same speech that this is cover for a prejudice against Turkey. In the EU, we should never agree one rule for big and one for small. As standing rapporteur for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, I thank Maria Eleni Koppa for recognising what she calls the fresh dynamic but she will understand if I use this speech also to call on the December European Council to agree a date for the country’s accession talks to start."@en1
