".
On behalf of my group I would like to express my total support for an early enlargement, stressing the principle of equal treatment with regard to the Copenhagen criteria. I hope that the signature of the Accession Treaty will represent the final unification of our continent, leaving behind the wars which desolated our peoples and drew up borders by force. The new and strengthened Union will be a continent with a shared destiny of peace, democracy and freedom.
This unprecedented enlargement brings new challenges for the Union. We will need an even greater spirit of solidarity in all our common policies, and we will have to strengthen the institutional capacities of the Union. The current and future Members will have to make the greatest possible effort, replacing national egotism with Community solidarity in order to find, as the Treaties demand, a united European voice in world political fora.
Although an agreement was reached at the last moment, I must strongly criticise the Council’s unilateral action of including budgetary figures in the Accession Treaty. This is an unprecedented action which constitutes a serious attack on the budgetary competences of our House and the Interinstitutional Agreement of 1999."@en1
