lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a year has gone by since Poland became a Member of the European Union. The situation for Polish agriculture has become steadily worse rather than better during that period and it should be remembered that Polish agriculture was already in a parlous situation following five decades of Soviet occupation. Firstly, pursuant to the Treaty of Accession, Poland was obliged to consent to lower payments for farmers in the long term. In practice, this meant maintaining the for farmers instead of providing them with opportunities for development. This unfortunate situation has been further aggravated by the fact that the change in the rate of exchange for the euro resulted in a drop in the value of this year’s direct payments in relation to last year’s. In addition, an influx of cheap grain to Poland led to a price reduction of approximately 35% in comparison with 2003 when Poland was not yet a Member of the Union. The Union is currently proposing reducing the national amounts of sugar to which payments apply. In addition, the Commissioner for Trade is planning to cut subsidies for agricultural trade by approximately 60% in the future. All these facts testify to the Union’s wholesale disregard of the interests of the new Member States and to its failure to support development in the east of the Community. The Union has made only empty promises in that regard. I appeal to the Commission to grant full payments to these areas as of 2007, in order to prevent a tragedy in the agricultural world and the emergence of social tensions in the new Member States."@en1
