"I would now like to make my last point, Mr President. In view of the confused state of the European institutions I criticised a few moments ago, I believe an enlarged European Union can be no more than a large market. It will, in fact, become a free trade association, likely to be extended to the other side of the pond. It is no coincidence that the greatest proponents of this premature enlargement are former members of EFTA. I do not want to see an enlarged European Union becoming a large market for rich countries, shaped by the consensus of the United States. Therefore Mr President, with a heavy heart, I resigned myself to abstaining on the votes concerning the accession of all the candidate countries. Nevertheless, I would like to extend a warm welcome to them."@en1
