".
The accession of these 10 new Member States has to be supported by all those wishing to stabilise the continent as a whole, consolidate democracy and peace, strengthen the economy and sustainable development and be part of a cultural and human dimension based on shared values of freedom, respect for fundamental rights, good governance and the rule of law. These new Member States have a vital role to play in building an even stronger and more efficient European Union.
This represents an unprecedented challenge on the political, economic and social levels. It also should be borne in mind that if this challenge is taken up, tremendous potential for strengthening and developing the European Union will be unleashed. We will indeed be able to aspire to a European Union speaking with one and the same voice on the world political stage and playing a leading role.
I have no wish to hold up this historical process in any way. Nonetheless, if Amendment No 1, the second part of Amendment No 13 and Amendment No 19 are not adopted, I shall abstain. I will, however, vote in favour of the accession of each of the 10 candidate countries when it comes to the vote on the various recommendations. I trust this will help lay the best possible foundations for our shared future."@en1
