Vi bør dog også gøre det klart og tydeligt - derfor har det beslutningsforslag, som grupperne stillede, overordentlig stor betydning - at EU 's optagelsesparathed er et kriterium, som skal være opfyldt, og at dette kriterium også kan stå alene - med spørgsmål om de finansielle muligheder, de indholdsmæssige muligheder og de institutionelle muligheder.
One reason why the resolution submitted by the groups in this House is so important is that we also need to make it clear that one criterion that must be met is the European Union’ s capacity for absorbing new Member States – both as an end in itself, and because it raises questions about what is financially possible, what is actually practicable, and what the institutions are capable of handling.
