lpv:translated text	"Madam President, today’s debate has raised many questions, in particular with regard to the impact the reform will have on the new Member States. The question we should be asking is whether something extraordinary has happened to the world’s sugar trade or sugar production in the two years since the EU underwent its last enlargement to justify such a sudden change in sugar policy, and the answer to this question is ‘no’. I mention this because the effects of this reform will hit the new Member States hardest. It is not uncommon for farmers in these countries to have invested all their savings in their farms, even though they have been treated unfairly. I would remind the House that farmers in the old EU Member States receive three times more in land subsidies than those in the new Member States. This reform has no doubt been several years in the making, which means that the public in the new Member States was intentionally misled, or even deceived, at the time of accession. Implementation of this reform will be further proof that the idea of European solidarity and genuine assistance for the new Member States is an illusion. Genuine assistance means giving the new Member States a real chance to develop their economies, rather than granting them subsidies on a short-term basis. One or even several countries can be outvoted, but the Polish public is opposed to a reform of this kind, and objects to being constantly cheated. I too would be happy to do without an EU that is run along these lines."@en1
