".
Two aspects of the recent electoral process in Ukraine stand out. The first is the capacity of the majority of the Ukrainian people to fight for democracy, for freedom and for a social model that is essentially identical to that of the EU. In the context of that struggle, the name of Viktor Yushchenko comes to the fore, but only as a first among equals. He has been the head of a body that is solid, determined and united behind a single idea.
Secondly, it is abundantly clear that action by the Community institutions and the European leaders, at both Community and national level, had an important role to play in the outcome of that process, which could otherwise have led to an extremely serious situation.
These two aspects justifiably led to expectations among the Ukrainian people as regards their future accession to the EU. It is now therefore up to Ukraine to follow a path that corresponds to the clear will of the people. Similarly, it is up to the EU to react positively to the expectations that have been generated.
It is this approach, an integral part of the resolution before us, which led me to vote in favour."@en1
