lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think that in reality, we are all finding it hard to tackle the situation that the EU has got itself into as regards Turkey. I know that more and more of the Members of this House are realising that not only is it impossible to complete the process of the accession negotiations, but that in fact, it is resulting in something that we do not want – which is that, in actual fact, relations with Turkey are only getting worse and worse because we are trying to impose models onto the country that large parts of the population there do not actually want; at least, that is how it is perceived in Turkey. That is why we are seeing increasing Islamification, we are seeing power increasingly being centralised and we are seeing democracy being rolled back. Viewed in these terms, this report bears witness to the fact that not only are there many problems, including in the civil sphere, but that the problems are increasing. All this is happening despite the fact that we have been negotiating with Turkey on membership for a number of years and have been having a dialogue with Turkey for even longer, before the country was accepted as a candidate country. Perhaps it is now time to revise this policy, to turn it around and talk about something other than membership."@en1
