lpv:translated text	". The only question put to the House concerned assent to the request for the accession of 10 new countries to the European Union. Nonetheless, the House is being requested to endorse the content of the draft treaty on accession. We are in favour of uniting the whole continent and doing away with the borders fragmenting it. We are therefore obviously in favour of the right of these countries to accede to the European Union if such is the wish of their people. On the other hand, we are totally opposed to the spirit and the letter of the draft treaty the European institutions seek to impose on them. Regarding the content of this treaty, it formalises the unfair divide between the richer and poorer parts of Europe. The word integration is a euphemism for a relationship in which imperialist Europe will impose itself on the new entrants. The latter are mostly countries in Eastern Europe perceived as fair game by the financial and industrial groups in the former. As to the form, the new Member States are being blackmailed into accepting this treaty. The only choice open to them is one between accepting the treaty or remaining outside the Union. This treaty provides for a two-speed Europe as far the budget and politics are concerned. It heralds a Europe where some will be more equal than others."@en1
