lpv:translated text	"Mr President, if any of the guests in the galleries who are with us today had attended the debate that took place in this House in March, they would not understand a thing, because today the benches of the Left have piled on the criticisms of the Barcelona process when in March, on assessing that Council, we voted for an extremely favourable Resolution. I would like to remind certain people that we cannot go against our own acts and that what was good three months ago cannot be bad now. My second point is the issue of immigration. I believe that this Presidency has given a fine example of something very important in politics, which is what in sporting terms is known as suppleness. Immigration was not one of the Spanish Presidency’s priorities, but it has noted that it is now one of the citizens’ priorities, and it has incorporated it into its agenda. And furthermore it is true that there are many issues that have been paralysed for some time in the Council. I believe that instead of criticising that incorporation, we should have applauded the attempt to promote all these issues. There is a final question, however, which was mentioned by President Poettering, which I believe to be extremely important and which has not perhaps been discussed so much, which is the delay in enlargement. For a long time, led by this Parliament, we have been asking for enlargement to take place within specific time limits and now, all of a sudden, certain Member States, certain leaders of Member States, want to carry out certain modifications of the common agricultural policy, for example, which will make enlargement impossible within those limits. Therefore, within the constructive environment of this House, I would ask our friends on the Left to speak to Mr Schröder, to Mr Persson and to Mr Blair to see if we can prevent the hindering of enlargement, so that it can go ahead when we want."@en1
