lpv:translated text	". Seen from a historical perspective, achieving enlargement is an issue that lies at the very heart of the European Union. This is the sharing of a common set of values in the field of liberal democracy, respect for human rights, social protection of the weakest, the protection of minorities, a market economy and peaceful coexistence under the rule of law. Enlargement is enabling us to revive the geographical, political and cultural identity of Europe. The prospect of a Union of 25 is now a reality. This enlargement, on an unparalleled scale, corresponds to an historic duty to reunite our continent. It also requires us thoroughly to reconsider the European project, the way in which an enlarged Europe will function. It also represents an opportunity. Extending the Union to more than 100 million new citizens, from this first stage formalised in Copenhagen onwards, will encourage exchanges and economic activity and will breathe new life into the development and integration of Europe’s economy as a whole. The accession of new Member States will increase the Union’s power and influence on the international stage."@en1
