lpv:translated text	"I would like to mention here three areas where I believe the Danish Presidency can make a major contribution during this period of crisis and of redefining Europe’s identity. First of all, Denmark has an important role to play as a bridge between members of the euro area and the other EU Member States, or to borrow the inspired expression used by Nicolai Wammen, a ‘bridge over troubled waters’. We are in obvious need of unity to ensure not only Europe’s economic future, but also the political viability of the European project. Secondly, as has been emphasised by representatives of the Danish Government on different occasions, Denmark regards the freedom of movement as one of the EU’s major achievements. The intention announced recently by the Danish authorities to work towards removing the political obstacles hampering Romania and Bulgaria from joining the Schengen area must be welcomed. I therefore hope that the Danish Presidency will give vital impetus to the expansion of the Schengen area and that this will apply as soon as possible with regard to Romania and Bulgaria. Lastly, I wish to welcome the fact that EU enlargement in general is a priority for the Danish Presidency. This sends out a very positive signal to Europe’s partners, especially at a time of crisis."@en1
