Kære kolleger, det er afgørende under forhandlingen at være opmærksom på, hvad der er baggrunden for det, vi nu gør, og for, at denne forhandling om forholdet mellem EU og Tyrkiet finder sted.
Fellow Members, it is crucial in the debate to keep an eye on the background against which we are doing this now, the background against which this debate about the EU-Turkey relationship is taking place.
