lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to start by thanking the two rapporteurs for this excellent report and thanking Commissioner Füle for his comments. It seems that we are at what I would call an awkward juncture in the history and the development of the European Union. We are personally, as far as the Union is concerned, clearly in a very difficult situation, and in a situation which is such that some of our Member States, or most of our Member States, might be less inclined to show generosity and comprehension vis-à-vis neighbouring Member States which are at various stages of development towards being democracies functioning according to our rules. I am personally slightly distressed when I learn that several Member States are, for instance, very reluctant to open their market to agricultural products coming from some of our southern neighbours. At the same time, these same governments, same populations, are extremely demanding when it comes to the democratic criteria that those societies should be fulfilling. But that is very difficult. When you cannot develop your economy because you cannot export the products you are best at producing for the time being, it is very difficult to build development. I would like to conclude by saying that I agree very much with what our colleague, Mr Swoboda, said. We are the ones who insisted on elections. We are the ones who insisted on having elections soon. The people have not always voted the way we would have preferred, but it is now going to be our business to engage both with the new executives and with the civil societies within all of our neighbouring countries."@en1
