lpv:translated text	"Mr President, allow me, in common with many others, to thank Mr Böge for his extraordinary work on a report in which the focus lies so incredibly clearly upon enlargement and its necessary economic conditions. As Members of the European Parliament, we have the opportunity – especially during the forthcoming Seville Summit – to put that pressure on the Council which is obviously needed in order to make it clear what the remaining enlargement negotiations are about. Enlargement is the EU’s absolutely most important priority. It is quite unacceptable again to postpone clarifying matters and taking a stance now that enlargement is effectively around the corner. Continued delays and conflicting signals on the part of the Council concerning the ground rules in the common agricultural market for established and new Member States in an enlarged EU are in danger of causing us not to have the privilege of welcoming ten new Member States at the beginning of next year. It is also important in this context to bear in mind that it is not in actual fact only the EU which is to decide on this matter. Support for an enlarged EU is also required in terms of the referendums being held in the new Member States for the purpose of ratifying the treaties. Enlargement to include the countries of Eastern Europe is an historic task, and the biggest and most important that any of us will ever get to experience. Anyone who tries to prevent or halt this process is assuming a very large responsibility. I hope that this is also appreciated by the Heads of State and Government meeting in a few weeks’ time at the Seville Summit."@en1
