Det er ganske sandt, men ikke desto mindre er det også sådan, at det er i ansøgerlandenes største interesse at sikre iværksættelsen af EU 's acquis bedst muligt, for ellers risikerer det indledende stadium af deres medlemskab af EU at være yderst smertefuldt og yderst vanskeligt for dem selv, og jeg tror, at vi må hjælpe dem med at undgå en sådan situation.
That is very true, but even so, the candidate countries have every interest in ensuring that the acquis communautaire is implemented in the optimal fashion, because otherwise there is a risk that the initial stage of their membership of the European Union will be very difficult and very painful. I believe that we must help them to avoid this sort of situation.
