"Mr President, 20 years after the Copenhagen conference, we have an economic crisis.
We have to say what the European Union has brought for the accession countries. The EU is without doubt a successful project. It has achieved great changes in people’s lives, but the crisis facing us imposes new roles. We must talk more about what values a common Europe has brought to people, and also more about the scope of solidarity. We must also talk about the social challenges, since this dimension is of the utmost importance. Many of us would not be here today were it not for enlargement. Enlargement has contributed to peace, stability and prosperity in the EU. Human rights and freedoms are the basis for the rule of law. Enlargement is beneficial for the entire EU, bringing it a better standing in the resolution of global problems and therefore I have supported the resolution and the conditions which should enhance the credibility and effectiveness of enlargement.
The entire accession process should define transparent and fair benchmarks, creating concrete steps towards accession, which would not be called into question, since it would be the consequence of clear, concrete and measurable objectives."@en1
