 El Sr. Theonas desea reformular su pregunta.
Les recomiendo a todos que empiecen por la pregunta antes de hacer una declaración. Yo tengo un comentario y una pregunta concreta: ¿No sería mejor que el Consejo contestara más concretamente cuando pide preguntas concretas? Este es mi comentario.
Ahora la pregunta: Si el proceso de preadhesión de Turquía dura 20 años, ¿todos los que están en la cárcel ahora van a tener que esperar 20 años para que la Unión Europea muestre su interés?

Mr Theonas wishes to rephrase his question. I recommend to all of you that you begin with the question before making a declaration. I have a comment and a specific question: would it not be better for the Council to give more specific answers when it asks for specific questions?
That was my comment. Now, the question: if the pre-accession process for Turkey were to last twenty years, would all those who are imprisoned today have to wait those twenty years for the European Union to express interest?
