lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome the debate this afternoon and welcome Mr Verheugen's comments this morning, which were extremely positive. I should like to make one crucial point. The key to the enlarged community has to be the integrity of the single market. We must ensure that the complete integrity of that single market will emerge at the end of these negotiations. If it is not the case, then there will be considerable resistance to enlargement from businesses in the Community and from the workers in the Community who feel themselves disadvantaged. I take one particular example. Recently in the Czech Republic there was restructuring in the banking sector. One of the major banks in the Czech Republic – IPB – was forced into administration and this was done to the benefit of another bank – CSOB. There appears to have been some use of state aids to support the position of the CSOB in order to support the position of a private sector rival to the IPB. Clearly that whole saga is very unsatisfactory. It is not transparent and it is not in accordance with the terms of the association agreement. We must ensure that those sorts of events do not continue to happen. As chairman of the joint parliamentary committee, I should also like to say a few words in relation to Lithuania. I welcome Mrs Souladakis' report. It is clear that the Lithuanian government has made enormous strides to catch up. I am very hopeful that they will be alongside the original group within the next 12 months. But again, they have to ensure implementation of the single market, particularly as regards counterfeiting in the audiovisual sector."@en1
