"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur Ria Oomen-Ruijten on her excellent work on this report, all the more so as many years were wasted due to a failure to spell out the specific measures to be taken with a view to Turkey’s accession. The stagnation we have seen to date only exacerbates the problems discussed by my fellow Members; it does not resolve them. The plan of action that has now been suggested gives us hope that, by taking action on both sides, we can start on a path to bring Turkey closer to the European Union and to achieve higher standards in dealing with contentious issues.
As the Commissioner rightly noted, we have many things in common, so it is worth working more intensively on the areas that will bring Turkey closer to Europe. It is in our interest to support, encourage and work together with Turkey in various areas in order to solve problems. I believe in Turkish democracy, as only that can ensure the inviolability of the rights and dignity of Turkish citizens. I also believe in solving problems in certain Member States that were referred to by my fellow Members."@en1
