lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have for very many years been an advocate of the enlargement of the European Union coming about by the accession of the Central and Eastern European states – and thus of the Czech Republic. I have, however, not voted to approve the accession of the Czech Republic, essentially for the following reasons. The first is that the Beneš decrees, on the basis of which, in 1945 and 1946, 3.2 million Germans were expatriated and deprived of their civil rights, are not obsolete. The second is that the Immunity Act, which is current law in the Czech Republic, is an offence against human rights as understood both in Europe and throughout the world. Thirdly, the European Union's human rights policy would cease to be credible if we were to accept a current law that exempts from punishment crimes committed against the German and Hungarian civilian population in the aftermath of the War. This is not about history, but about present-day politics. This is about the European Union being a community of values in accordance with the Copenhagen criteria."@en1
