"Mr President, eastward enlargement is the foremost issue concerning the EU’s future. The Swedish Christian Democrats think that the European Parliament must change a number of points in the proposal that has now been approved by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs. I shall concentrate on these. 9) There is a need for wording of this kind. 1) This concerns the Commission’s legitimacy, popular support and future. If, in the future, there is no Commissioner for each Member State, the Council of Ministers may assume the Commission’s current role. 2) This is especially important in a situation where States such as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, together with Slovenia, join the European Union after having previously been part of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia against their will. 3) The distance from the voters would be too great. 4) 5) This would be an unwarranted use of resources and would make for a good deal of arbitrariness. Party financing may be misused. That is something of which we are well aware in today’s Europe. 6) 7) Suspension is a serious measure. 8)"@en1
