lpv:translated text	"Mr President, regarding the Presidency we could say that it went very well indeed in the way it dealt with the crisis in Lebanon, and its success with REACH and the Services Directive. They are all important issues. I especially appreciate the trouble that was gone to over cooperation with Russia. Lahti was an excellent example of this, and, although we know what went on at the Helsinki meeting, the Lahti approach is what we need to adhere to here and we have to begin to act accordingly in the wake of it. Perhaps the only negative issue is idealism over enlargement, which is troubling the Finnish Government. For six months Turkey has shown how difficult things get if we move forward too fast. We really need to insist that terms and conditions are met, and we should give them sufficient time. Prime Minister, you are wrong when you say that there should not be any barriers. The public expects us to have a vision of how large Europe will be in 10 to 20 years’ time. Our citizens would rather have a small Europe that works than one which is too large and which functions poorly."@en1
