lpv:translated text	". A glance at the troubled history of Europe, full of internecine wars between Europeans, must help us to appreciate the significance of today’s vote in the House on the report on enlargement of the European Union. This enlargement of the Union is best understood as the reunification of the peoples of our continent. At long last all Europeans are coming together to share common fundamental values such as freedom, democracy, solidarity and respect for human rights and the environment. As Members of the European Parliament we should rejoice in having played a part in this process, and commit ourselves to ensuring its success. Nonetheless, we must regret that the budget allocated to this enlargement is inadequate for the scale of the project and for our common future. It is derisory. I would recall for reference that between 1948 and 1951 the United States contributed the equivalent of EUR 97 billion to help Western Europe recover from the devastation caused by war. That amounted to 1.5% of the GDP of the United States. Between 1990 and 1999 EUR 600 billion was invested to finance recovery in the former East Germany. The European Council is only prepared to allocate 0.15% of the Union’s GDP to enlargement. From now on we must demonstrate solidarity as we respond to continental challenges of this kind. It is worth bearing in mind that our future will henceforth be inextricably linked to that of our new friends and neighbours, and that it is up to us to make that future a reality."@en1
