lpv:translated text	"Mr President, my colleagues from Baden-Württemberg and I today abstained from the vote on Croatia’s accession to the European Union. However, the result of the vote provides proof positive that, overall, there is very broad-based and solid support for the accession of this 28th Member State to the European Union, and we are pleased about that. Croatia’s accession on 1 July 2013 shows that the European Union continues to be a strong community, and one that is attractive to those still outside it. The result of the vote also shows that Croatia, which has had the most stringent of conditions imposed on it in recent years, has very thoroughly met them. All the same, Mr President, many citizens take the view that it is high time that we made a point of truly consistently tailoring the implementation of European law to what we actually need in Europe. Many Member States of the European Union do not meet these requirements themselves. We admit that. Nevertheless, we realise that before its accession, Croatia, too, will tinker with a few details here and there. We hope that, on 1 July 2013, Croatia will truly have met all the conditions imposed on it and become a fully-fledged member of the European Union. My group’s delegation from the State of Baden-Württemberg thus decided to abstain. We see this as a positive way of calling on Croatia still to overcome the last few remaining obstacles in its path."@en1
