"In my home region, the southern counties of the Hungarian Plains, there was a great outcry about the discovery by police of a huge amount of communal trash, 5 000 tonnes so far, probably originating in Germany. The investigation is continuing, with cooperation on the part of the Germans. But the fact is that such a quantity of garbage, and who knows how much more, is certainly missing from Germany. This cannot go unnoticed by the meticulous German public administrations. Events like this, though forbidden by EU regulations, are spreading as a result of the free movement of goods, and seriously undermine in my home region the value placed on EU membership.
Besides, some German and Austrian firms have already caused numerous scandals in Hungary by putting on the market through large chain-stores food items past their sell-by date, exploiting the thrifty shopping habits of those people in the new Member States who struggle with huge problems of livelihood.
This demands intervention not only by German and Austrian authorities, but the European Commission should call not only for more restrained governance in Member States waiting to adopt the euro: consumer protection calls for increased numbers of staff."@en1
