"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, my group believes it is necessary to keep this item on the agenda. We had supported the same request from the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, who decided, however, to change their minds, in our view for reasons linked not to Europe but to another very important event in a Member State. In our view, there is no need to be afraid of a debate on Turkey; on the contrary, such a debate is needed, and it is important to keep the protocol issue separate from the more general issue that we will be debating in the second September part-session. In that way we will be able to focus specifically on the topic of Cyprus, in which Turkey certainly holds some responsibility, although we must not forget that the Republic of Cyprus does as well. We believe the issue is important, and it is equally important for Parliament to be entirely free to discuss, debate and come to a decision on it quite separately from the other Institutions, such as the Council or the Commission. Indeed, Mr President, we have to consider the fact that we already know what the Council’s decision will be, since the informal Council has already been held."@en1
