And we do have a reason for insisting on the ratification of the Treaty of Nice because, not only does it contain the technical requirements for concluding enlargement negotiations in the institutional section, it also contains political requirements for concluding the enlargement process which are indispensable to a whole series of Member States.
Nous tenons à la ratification du traité de Nice car il ne contient pas uniquement, dans sa partie institutionnelle, les conditions techniques de la conclusion des négociations d'adhésion : il renferme aussi, pour toute une série d'États membres, des conditions politiques indispensables à la conclusion du processus d'élargissement.
