lpv:translated text	"The Albertini report contains ideas that I agree with, but there is an underlying problem. The basic assumption is that the EU should gradually take a predominant position in foreign and defence policy over the individual national governments. That means that the Member States would have to give up further large portions of sovereignty over foreign policy to EU bodies, which would be charged with reaching a common position to be presented in the international community and in all multilateral forums. I cannot agree with this prospect: the Member States would no longer be able to establish their own foreign policies on the basis of what they deem to be national priorities. We agree that in certain contexts, the EU must strive to speak with a single voice in order to be stronger on the global stage and to represent the desires that are common to all its Member States, but that cannot come about at the cost of the Member States’ freedom to draw up their own foreign policies. Moreover, the report calls on the EU to renew the momentum in Turkey’s EU accession process, a point on which I have never been in agreement at all. Turkey must stay out of our organisation, because it is not and never will be Europe. I voted against the report."@en1
