lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it has been gratifying in the course of this debate to note Parliament’s overwhelming endorsement of enlargement. The circle from Copenhagen to Copenhagen is about to be closed. If you come, as I do, from Copenhagen, the delight is naturally that much greater. Nor, then, shall I conceal my pleasure at coming from a country which, according to the opinion polls, is the country which puts enlargement highest on the agenda. It is encouraging to hear from Mr de Miguel about the considerable progress that has been made during the Spanish Presidency. We must express our thanks for the significant contribution that has been made, just as we must thank Commissioner Verheugen for his tireless efforts. We have also heard about the hurdles which remain and which must be overcome: agricultural policy, Kaliningrad, the Cyprus issue and the Beneš decrees. The question is, whether the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Great Britain are to be added to the list. Do not allow them to stand in the way. Let us not lose this historic opportunity to reunify Europe for the sake of freedom, peace and security. Like others, the Danish Presidency too has a three-word motto or slogan. It is ‘enlargement, enlargement, enlargement’. After today’s debate, it could be Parliament’s agenda."@en1
