Jeg troede ikke på, at menneskerettighedssituationen i Tyrkiet ville blive bedre, fordi vi fik en toldunion, og jeg troede heller ikke på, at øen Cypern ville blive genforenet, fordi Tyrkiet tiltrådte en toldunion.
I did not believe that the human rights situation in Turkey would improve because we had a customs union, and likewise I did not believe that the island of Cyprus would be reunited because Turkey joined a customs union.
