"Mr President, there are two particularly important issues to be debated at the Helsinki Summit: Union enlargement and setting the IGC in motion. As we adopted the broad resolution on the IGC in the previous part-session at Strasbourg, we should have focused this time mainly on Union enlargement. Unfortunately, the joint resolution drafted by the groups only contains a few paragraphs on enlargement.
The group of the European Liberal Democrats has tabled some amendments that would complement and improve the jointly prepared draft. We hope that the Commission and the Council will draft an overall strategy, in which enlargement of the Union and its future reforms might be linked to a broader pan-European scenario. In our opinion, we should consider various models of differentiated integration and try to achieve an ever-developing, concentrically conceived Union, in which there would be a federal core and a less integrated outer perimeter. We furthermore propose that the Union should use the European Council and the OSCE as forums for pan-European cooperation. We hope there will be support for our proposal."@en1
