"Mr President, I rise not because of the topic of Mr Alavanos’ question, but to comment on Minister Sasi’s answer and to put a question to him. Minister Sasi, perhaps you should have said that this was more of a political debate and that a conclusion would be reached in Helsinki. Instead you addressed many different issues under the same heading and no clear conclusion can be drawn from what you said. I would like to ask a question. You made the particular point about Turkey being judged on the basis of the Copenhagen criteria. If Turkey is therefore accorded applicant status in Helsinki, are we then to assume that it has fulfilled those criteria? Please answer us that. We should not be bothering ourselves with all these other factors. Instead, we should try to talk some sense here. I am saying all this, Mr President, because I believe that when the Council comes here, it should have more respect for this institution. We are parliamentarians after all!"@en1
