"I would like to congratulate Mr Peterle on an excellent report. The suffix ‘-stan’ means ‘state’ and Tajikistan is the last of the countries whose names end in ‘-stan’ to be recognised as a state by us. Up until now, we have always overlooked it, which was a great injustice. However, the stability of Central Asia is in the interests of the region itself, in our interests, and in the strategic interests of the world as a whole. All the countries in the world are interlinked like a connecting vessel, which is why we also need to demonstrate our maturity by ensuring that all the countries in this region are given equal attention, regardless of their size, stage of development or how much energy wealth they possess. It seems to me that we have now righted this wrong and made up for lost time. For this reason, I would like to congratulate both the rapporteur and the Commission, as well as Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner and the Swedish Presidency, for finally consigning this delay to the past. From now on, things will be better."@en1
