"Mr President, behind us we have an historic enlargement and the first elections to the European Parliament following this enlargement. It is reasonable for the Commission’s main emphases to reflect the message that has emerged in connection with these events. I therefore want the guidelines to send out a clear political signal worthy of the unique situation in which Europe finds itself. We have promised that the divided Europe will grow together. The most important emphasis should therefore be to bridge the gulf. Differences in health must be evened out. We want companies that operate across the borders and even out the economic differences. In order to achieve that, we must fully exploit the opportunities provided by structural and research policy. The Baltic must become the world’s cleanest sea, meaning that there must be an end to the emissions from Saint Petersburg. We want a top quality, dynamic research society in the Baltic Sea region, and there are surely corresponding expectations further south. We must construct a legal area in which everyone feels protected by law, irrespective of where they are in the area of the EU. Finally, we need a consistent and vigorous policy towards the EU’s Eastern neighbours too. The crisis in Ukraine has revealed the weaknesses in our neighbourhood policy. The EU must also tighten up its strategy and be consistent in its policy towards the countries of the Caucasus, Moldova and Russia. These are precisely the issues also touched upon by Mr Wiersma. It is easy for me to concur with Commission President Barroso’s words in the French part of his speech: [we must set priorities for the whole of Europe]."@en1
