"Mr President, in the 18 months since the Eastern European countries joined the European Union, we have seen an increasing number of measures taken by certain old EU Member States and by Russia that strike at the economic heart of the new Member States, instead of providing genuine support that would allow these latter to catch up with the old Member States in terms of development.
The following are merely a few examples from recent months. An agreement to build a gas pipeline along the bottom of the Baltic Sea has been signed by Russia and Germany, an EU Member State, even though it will harm the economic interests of Poland and the Baltic States. Russia is refusing to allow imports of Polish meat into the country, yet the EU has failed to provide any real assistance in this regard. The reform of the sugar market currently underway will hit the new EU Member States hardest, and put even more people out of work. Huge cuts have been proposed to the EU budget for the development of poor regions located in the new EU Member States.
I should therefore like to issue a warning. If the new EU Member States are not granted subjective rights, the public in these countries will soon make known its opposition to the EU."@en1
