We watch situations evolve in the Middle East and Africa and we are there with our aid workers and money. However, at the end of the day, we have no political clout. The United States of America is looked at to solve all the problems. I am not against the United States. People with long enough memories will know I voted for the deployment of cruise and Pershing missiles in Europe, which was not very popular at the time. I was pro the United States and always favoured Europe having a strong alliance and strong partnership with it. That does not mean the United States should tell us whether we should admit Turkey to the European Union. This is our democracy. It is our responsibility and we should not be pressurised by any other power on how to arrange the evolution of the Community.
