There are a few trouble spots in Europe. One by one, these are being tackled and, one by one, peace is being established, including in our country and, I hope, other parts of the European Union. The idea that we will expand and get larger is a frightening concept to some people. I have no fears about this – I am a committed European. It is absolutely wonderful that the essence of accession is not that countries are being taken over but that they have applied for membership. They are freely joining the Union. This is the whole essence of the treaty. It is important to emphasise that there is no emperor ruling them. There is no huge force of arms taking them over. They are joining of their own free will by the democratic decision of their people, some through referendums. They are coming together in a way that is peaceful, harmonious and which will be for the good of all.
