lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there are two Europes in existence today, an old, high-class EU and a new, low-class EU. The first of these is inconsiderate, short-sighted and sets little store by competitiveness. In other words, it is cutting off the branch on which it sits. The second may well have been given an official invitation to dine at the EU’s table, but in actual fact it is discriminated against. If your aim is to pit these two Europes against each other, then you should continue with your present course of action. I am curious to see what the outcome of the constitutional referendums in the Czech Republic and Poland will be. Those are two unrelated issues, I hear you say. Officially they are, but how do you intend to persuade the citizens of the new EU Member States that this is the case? You are asking the EU’s younger relatives to support the Constitution for a united Europe, at the same time as warning them to keep their distance from the united EU market. This is an extremely short-sighted attitude, and those countries, governments, societies and companies that subscribe to it are boosting Euroscepticism in Europe. Instead of overcoming the old divisions, they are creating new ones. We cannot even comfort ourselves with the thought that this is merely individual nations or industries being selfish, as it is in fact the same old stupidity we are used to, with all the disastrous consequences it has in both political and economic terms. It is an extremely unwise course of action for consumers in the old EU Member States. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to sober up."@en1
