"Thank you, Mr President. As things stand at present, the enlargement process is not just an opportunity for Europe’s continued economic development, but perhaps most importantly, it is also an opportunity to enhance the security of European countries, especially in the key Balkan region. The countries of that region are making steady progress, bringing their legislation into line with the Union’s provisions. I trust that the remaining countries will soon follow Croatia and accede to the Union. I should also like to recall the need for further commitment to enlargement policy towards the East. The situation of Ukraine is particularly important for Poland. Ukraine is one of our largest neighbours, and therefore has a significant impact on relations in the area. In addition, it is important to actively encourage the new Georgian Government, to ensure it implements its declared policy of maintaining the country’s pro-European stance. I believe that the support for enlargement contained in the report and the proposed actions aimed at building public confidence in that idea are entirely relevant and fully in line with the interests of the citizens of the Member States.
I voted in favour of the report."@en1
