". I supported the Eurlings report and should like to congratulate the rapporteur on his excellent work. I will say this in public since we were unable to demonstrate our position in another way on account of the unfortunate secret ballot. My vote in favour of opening negotiations certainly does not mean that I cannot wait for them to start. My group rightly believes that it is actually too soon, and I share that view. At the same time, though, we would like to remain realistic, because after all, the train was put in motion in 1999 and in 2002. Moreover, we expect that the European Council will give the negotiations the green light. What matters to us in the ballot is that the Union should retain its credibility and that we send a clear message about the conditions under which these open-ended negotiations are to proceed. The conditions in the report are strict, but fair. We support them wholeheartedly, and that is why I have voted in favour."@en1
