lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Madam Vice-President of the Commission, I would like to start by congratulating the Dutch Presidency on its work. I have here the final draft of the conclusions and I must say that you have done a very good job. With regard to enlargement, I wish to start by highlighting positively the paragraphs of the conclusions relating to the imminent accession of Romania and Bulgaria and to emphasise that the accession of these two countries is creating a new geopolitical reality. Consequently, I consider it very important – as you mention in the conclusions – that the relevant agreements and treaties be signed early on in 2005. With regard to the case of Turkey, a great deal has of course been said. I, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, will insist on keeping paragraph 20 of the draft conclusions which I have before me, because it deals with the question of the peaceful resolution of differences with neighbouring countries. I would ask you to examine very seriously the inclusion of a paragraph on Cyprus, by which I mean the withdrawal of the Turkish forces and, of course, recognition of the Republic of Cyprus. I would also like to make a couple of positive remarks on what you have to say about the financial perspectives. It is very important that we resolve the problem of the financial perspectives because, as you say, the financial perspectives and how they are addressed will give an enlarged Europe the tool to deal with future challenges, and I welcome the fact that you are talking of the need for prudence. To close, I think that a great deal has been said about terrorism, but I wish to draw the Presidency's attention to the fact that the question of terrorism does not end with a few paragraphs. It is a complicated issue, a very serious issue. It is here to stay, we shall face new challenges every time and the Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission will therefore need to cooperate closely in order to combat this phenomenon."@en1
