"We have voted against the Brok report on enlargement. Quite obviously, we are not opposed to integrating new countries into the EU. Nonetheless, we have reservations about the way in which the negotiations are currently proceeding. We are also concerned about the burden faced by the candidate countries in transposing the ‘acquis communautaire’, which varies between 70 000 and 90 000 pages of text, depending upon the translation. Where agricultural, health and environmental matters are concerned, the challenges are enormous. Moreover, making the entry of these countries conditional upon their strict observance of the legislation on the protection of biodiversity is unfair. Let us not forget that these countries are coming to us to consolidate peace on the continent of Europe, develop their infrastructures and make up for having been behind economically because of their insufficiently developed infrastructures. Let us not forget this."@en1
