".
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the stands which have been taken are the best possible expression of the historic importance of this moment, which is why I do not think there is any need for me to add a single word to what everyone has said about enlargement and how important it is.
I asked for the floor merely in order to reply to Mr Crespo's proposal that the presidency should consider making a statement on the role of the UN and humanitarian aid in Iraq on 16 April. I should like to thank Mr Crespo for this very interesting proposal and to say that we have already taken the initiative of inviting the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr Kofi Annan, on 17 April, when 40 Heads of State and 40 ministers for foreign affairs will be attending the European summit in Athens, precisely so that we can discuss the question of the United Nations and humanitarian aid and make the best possible use of this major meeting.
I hope that Mr Annan has already accepted this invitation. We are in the process of finalising the arrangements for the meeting. I hope that it will indeed manage to get these political messages across."@en1
