"Mr President, the PASOK delegation supports the joint motion for a resolution on Turkey, even if it is not perfect. It also supports, as it has from the beginning of this long procedure, the prospects of the real accession of Turkey, with real rights and real obligations.
This means that the start of negotiations with Turkey does not imply that everything is negotiable. On the one hand, the honest will of the Union to see a European Turkey as an equal member one day is non-negotiable. On the other hand, Turkey's obligation to apply the protocol in full is non-negotiable and Turkey's obligation to recognise Cyprus is non-negotiable.
If these obligations change into a simple wish list, it will be catastrophic. Consequently, clear objectives are needed, together with timetables, cut-off dates and sanctions if they are not achieved. We owe it to the people of Turkey, to its millions of citizens who honestly wish for a European, democratic, prosperous and peaceful country. We owe it equally to the European citizens, in order to combat easy and dangerous Turko-scepticism. We must give them the certainty that the accession of Turkey will come from honourable European negotiations and not from an eastern bazaar."@en1
