ratified the protocols. i ve had good discussions last week and we agreed to restart the talks and to convene the meeting between finland, sweden in mid march under my auspices to discuss the implementation of the agreement made last june and how to complete the accession process. and it is good that the hungarian parliament will start ratification process next week. our aim is for both finland and sweden to join as soon as possible. this will strengthen their security, it will strengthen europe s security and it will strengthen nato. so thank you once again for our excellent discussions and for
to progress in this path towards europe. and indeed, if it wouldn t have been for ukraine s willingness, really, to reform, and they would not be today a candidate country to the accession to the european union. it is impressive to see how fast they delivered. the accession process is a merits based process. it s not a rigid one. and the better you perform, the better you reform, the sooner and there is access to the european union. it depends on the progress in ukraine itself. and ukraine, as i see it today, is absolutely willing to fight corruption, to put in the rule of law, to abide to all the necessary, follow the necessary reforms. it s up to them to deliver. madam president, thank you so much for being with us. we greatly appreciate it. here we are, together, making a group of mighty foes
