"Mr President, the current discussion on the integration of immigrants in the European Union is a consequence of the immigration policy to date.
Opening the doors to a mass influx of populations originating from different civilisations – populations which in the overriding majority of cases assume that they will not integrate with their host populations and states – is madness. It may lead to the destabilisation of society on the continent for many years to come, and even, in certain circumstances, to tragedy. Multiracialism and multiculturalism within society also means multiplicity of conflicts. Anybody who arrives in an existing state must realise that they are its guests. If they want to settle permanently, they must accept the traditions and cultures of the countries they have chosen, although they may obviously treasure their own culture and customs.
An error in the old policy is the fact that for many years it restricted immigration from the countries of Eastern Europe, whose populations are culturally close to the rest of Europe. We in Poland despair at the large number of young people who are now leaving the country, but after World War II Western Europe abandoned that part of Europe to communist rule. For decades we were deprived of the opportunity for normal economic development."@en1
