lpv:translated text	"I should like to endorse Mr Lagendijk’s question. I understand perfectly well what the Commission is doing and also what priority it wants to give its policy with regard to the countries around us. In this Parliament we shall be returning in detail to the announcement that the Commission is making today. I really only have one question. The objective of course is to prevent the creation of a new divide, a new Iron Curtain, in Europe. If this is what we want to prevent, then we are going to have to help countries such as Ukraine or Belarus to undergo the same development as countries such as Hungary or Poland. Does the Commission think it will be able to develop sufficient influence on and cooperation with these countries with its proposal, so that the same reform processes take place there as in the present candidate countries and in time a kind of equality will develop that opens the way to answering the question as to whether these countries can also become members of the Union? For me, what it comes down to in the end is whether, by means of what you are proposing, we can achieve the same positive effect on those countries as we have achieved with the enlargement process in a number of other countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Given what is currently happening in those countries, I think that this is the only way to prevent a new divide in Europe."@en1
