Alors, je le dis très clair
ement, je crois que nous ne remplissons pas aujourd’hui le critère de Copenhague sur la capacité de l’Union à avoir de nouveaux adhérents sans briser son élan et je dirai simplement, Monsieur l
e Président, que ce serait un signe vraiment très fort que de
dire aux peuples: l’Europe reprend son destin en main en ét
ant capable de dire quelles sont ses ...[+++]frontières.
Therefore, I would say very clearly that I think that, at the moment, we are not meeting the Copenhagen criterion on the ability of the EU to take on new members without losing momentum, and I would simply say, Mr President, that it would send a very strong signal if we said to the people: Europe is taking its destiny back into its own hands by being able to state where its borders are.
