Our opposition to the Brok report is not an indication of ostracism of our partners in Eastern and Central Europe, or southern Europe, quite the contrary, it means that this report sets conditions which are absolutely intolerable, with regard to countries which have been European for centuries and of which we should not be making any other demand whatsoever except, perhaps, for the one condition that political pluralism be respected.
Vi er imod Brok-betænkningen, ikke som et udtryk for ostrakisme, ikke fordi vi ønsker at udelukke vores partnere i Central- og Østeuropa eller i Middelhavsområdet, tværtimod. Vi finder imidlertid, at der i den omhandlede betænkning stilles helt utilstedelige krav, i betragtning af at der er tale om lande, som i århundreder har været en del af Europa.
