"Mr President, I would like to comment on points 2 and 3, in which it is claimed that the Intergovernmental Conference is the key issue in the run-up to enlargement of the EU. This is not the case. The key issue is primarily that of how the negotiations with the candidate countries are handled and what result is achieved. There is still no final date set, and the candidate countries think that the EU is extremely imprecise regarding its position. I would also like to comment on point 10, the contents of which I think involve an unfortunate development in the direction of militarisation of the European Union. I am saying this also as a representative of a country that is non-aligned. Finally, I would like to comment on point 11, which talks of a positive step towards necessary tax coordination in Europe. What sort of a statement is this? In this connection, I would like to quote the Swedish constitution and its words about “the ancient right of the Swedish people to impose taxes on themselves"."@en1
