". As I have stated in previous explanations of vote, the pressure put on the new Member States to incorporate the Community acquis into their national legislations is unacceptable. They are peddled the argument that failing to transpose law would block the growth of the European economy and would exacerbate regional disparities. This is a policy based on double standards. On the one hand, it suggests that we must boost and develop the internal market, overcoming obstacles by harmonising national legislation, in order to allow goods, services and capital to move freely; whereas, on the other hand, it seeks to limit the movement of people from those countries and to restrict their rights. The report before us does not take into account the specific characteristics of the new Member States and the fact that they lag behind the other Member States. It also fails to address the need to set out measures to support the running of the markets in such a way as to promote economic and social cohesion. Cohesion policy needs increased funding to be set aside in the financial perspective, so as to foster integration on the basis of economic development criteria of promoting jobs and social inclusion and of breaking down the imbalances between the regions and countries of the enlarged EU. In that way, support to countries lagging behind in structural terms, such as Portugal, can be maintained."@en1
