lpv:translated text	"Mr President, to many observers, what happened outside the Göteborg Summit appeared to be of greater importance than what took place inside. I am referring, of course, to the violence displayed by the demonstrators and to relations with the United States. With regard to the latter, although it is true that points of disagreement still remain, on capital punishment, for example, on the Kyoto protocol and on the anti-missile shield, considerable progress has clearly been made, Mr President, on the joint declaration on the Middle East and on the joint approach to the Balkans. On the issue of the violence, I think that we must make a clear distinction between displays of violent action – and violence must be eradicated because in a democracy ideas cannot be advocated by force – and the message that was conveyed in the course of the protests. In the interest of everyone, Mr President, globalisation must be a ship that has more crew members and fewer shipwrecks. With regard to internal issues, we must make a clear distinction between promises and the reality of the situation. I think that the repeated wish to maintain the timetable for negotiations on enlargement is a factor, but I also feel, Mr President, that the problem of not knowing how this accession process is to be financed or which of the candidate countries will be in the first wave of accessions is significant. It is crucial that we bear in mind that our project for integrating Europe does not only gain legitimacy once every five years when elections to the European Parliament are held. Our project must be given legitimacy each and every day. To this effect, it is not enough for there to be greater and closer police coordination, or for the Commission to set a course for our integration project. What is crucial is that we reach agreement on a common vision of the Europe that we want. No such agreement exists today and yet it is essential if we are to ensure that this project is more what it has been until now: it must be much more the fruit of the dreams and the enthusiasm of our citizens than of the will of our leaders."@en1
