lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I wish briefly to take issue with what Mrs Krupa – who unfortunately has now left the Chamber – said a minute ago. She made a statement comparing the European Union to the Soviet Union. I must say that it is not a fair comparison. I shall just relate one little anecdote. Mr Prodi, the previous President of the Commission, went to Estonia before it joined the European Union. He was asked why Estonia should join the European Union, since it was just like the Soviet Union. He thought for a while and said that it was a valid point, but he could not exactly remember when Estonia applied for membership of the Soviet Union. I think Mrs Krupa should always keep that in mind when she thinks about Poland’s role in the European Union: it is there because membership is in its interests and came about through a democratic process."@en1
