"Mr President, I agree with the rapporteur that significant disparities occur within individual regions and that analyses serving as a basis for the division of Union money should take this problem into account.
It is clearly visible in the new Member States. In Poland, for example, the most important social division affecting Poles is the growing gulf in their affluence. Currently as much as 12% of the population is living in extreme poverty. The greatest differences continue to be between the town and the country.
Although Małopolska is ranked fourth in the country in terms of GDP, unemployment is a problem there – and it mainly affects the rural populace. In the neighbouring Świętokrzyskie province, country dwellers account for 55.5% of the unemployed (88% of them are unemployed and have no benefit rights).
The prolongation of such situations means that these people’s chance of overcoming the ‘social exclusion’ that has been discussed so extensively during the current parliamentary session is dwindling."@en1
