lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to congratulate Mr Moscovici on his very objective and well-balanced report. I fully agree with Mr Rehn and Mr Nicolaï, who I feel have expressed very objective opinions. Romania’s accession is beneficial to Hungary for two reasons; on the one hand, good neighbourliness, and on the other, the issue of the minority Hungarian community, with more than half a million Hungarians living in Romania. That is why I can say that it is in our national interest for Romania to accede in two years’ time. Ladies and gentlemen, I should like to thank the Nastase Government, which has done a great deal to bring about the historic reconciliation between Romania and Hungary. Today we have a strategic partnership. It is true that in all honesty much remains to be done, but considerable progress has been made over the last ten years. I should like to stress three key issues that need to be resolved. The first is genuine decentralisation, and a real devolvement of power to the regions. The next is the protection of the environment, as clean rivers are a cross-border issue. Finally, there is the question of the minorities, the Roma and the Hungarians. I do not wish to make the implementation of different forms of autonomy a prerequisite to Romania’s accession, but it would be helpful to open negotiations with the new government, namely tripartite negotiations between the Romanian Government, the Hungarian parliamentary party and the Hungarian Government, as was done in the case of South Tyrol and the Åland Islands in Finland. The European Union offers helpful precedents here. It would therefore be desirable to start the negotiations, and I fully support Romania’s accession without delay."@en1
