lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to congratulate Ms Oomen-Ruijten on her excellent report. I wonder if the report has been written in order to see how far away Turkey is from achieving membership and to bring up all the shortcomings in Turkey, or whether it has been written in order to enable us gradually to view Turkey as a member of the EU. Mr President, I think there is a need for a greater degree of honesty in this debate and for us to say whether we actually want Turkey to join the EU or not, because then we will actually have to try and get a different attitude from some quarters than I think has been the case here. Personally speaking, I think it is very important to work towards Turkey becoming a Member State. I believe that Turkey is less dependent on the EU than the EU is on Turkey. There is clearly rather a long way to go, but we must nevertheless have the courage to say whether we want Turkey to succeed in this or not. Turkey is a superpower. It will remain a superpower and has the ability to act accordingly."@en1
