lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Helsinki Summit would like clarity on the matter. The European Union must ensure that the enlargement process is not slowed down because institutional reforms have not taken place within the Union. The European Commission’s transparency concerning candidate countries should be adopted by the European Summit. What will a Union comprising more than 25 Members actually look like? Moreover, Turkey requires special treatment in the accession strategy. It also remains unclear what will change for Turkey now that this State is being treated as a candidate country, although there is absolutely no question of accession taking place as yet. The agenda for the IGC in 2000 must list more items than the three leftovers from Amsterdam. The attitude regarding the accession process displayed by people within candidate countries remains worrying. In this respect, it is important to develop a clear information strategy. In fact, the same applies just as much to public opinion within the EU Member States. Otherwise, the value of an enlarged Union will remain vague to the average European citizen. The composition of the European institutions must be changed in good time. It is hoped that the Summit will draw up a schedule for this."@en1
