"Madam President, the Eastern partnership summit in Warsaw will take place this September. Similarly to the preceding Hungarian Presidency, enlargement is high on the agenda of the Polish Presidency, the two being partners in the organisation of the upcoming summit. I would like to congratulate Poland, the driving force behind the launch of the Eastern partnership, along with Sweden. As a Member from a state from the former Soviet bloc, Romania, I would like to stress the solidarity that the Hungarian Presidency expressed vis-à-vis Croatia before accession, just as Poland is now showing towards Ukraine. On the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union, it is my firm conviction that the EU, divided to the extreme, can be reunited with its region on the other side of the Iron Curtain only through this kind of solidarity, and thus complete its integration process. We well know what happens in our neighbourhood; it affects the entire Union. So our neighbourhood policy is essential for a stronger Europe. The Eastern partnership countries are carrying out reforms in order to come closer to the EU. We continuously ask for further reforms, and stress the need to respect human rights in Belarus and Ukraine. We need to remain united in our commitment to establishing closer ties and to use the summit to send the right political signal of our will to play a leading role in the region."@en1
