lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the art of letter writing is certainly flourishing. What European Union Commissioners ought to be doing is putting their noses to the grindstone and getting down to sustained hard work to reinforce the European Union’s authority, which is gradually slipping away. Unfortunately, however, the Commissioners have decided instead to while away their time writing letters telling individual Member States what they should be doing. I would like to mention the example of the Dutch Commissioner, who is one of the most controversial members of the Commission. Commissioner Kroes is currently under investigation by the House, following allegations of conflict of interest and lobbying activities. She recently took it upon herself to send a letter to the Polish Government concerning the merger of two Polish banks. I thought it might have been appropriate for the Commissioner to share her country’s first-hand knowledge of how to lose a referendum on the Constitution with the Polish Government. Instead, the Commissioner saw fit to preach to the Polish Government, even though a Dutch bank, the ING, had been very quick off the mark in buying one of the larger Polish banks . The Commissioner’s offensive letter is paternalistic in the extreme, and typical of the attitude of the countries of the old Union to the new Member States. The Commissioner might have been more usefully employed preaching to the Dutch Government on how to prevent ethnic and racist tension, which is unfortunately fast becoming a fact of life in her country."@en1
