"Madam President, the banks and financial institutions have had hundreds of billions of euro made instantly available to them to protect the free market and the European Union. Not even a nominal sum has been made available the Polish shipyards, while the financial institutions were those whose speculation led to the world crisis, and a more than 30% appreciation in the Polish currency led to the collapse of the shipbuilding industry there.
Today the Union is giving aid to those responsible for the crisis from the pockets of its citizens, while the victims are liquidated. The sentence imposed on Poland’s shipyards is also a gift to Germany’s shipyards, which after 1989 received hundreds of billions of Deutschmarks in non-repayable subsidies. The loss of more than 100 000 jobs, mainly in Poland, is a price the people of Poland, and not the European Union, will pay.
Should the people and the places which triggered the Solidarity movement, the fall of the Berlin wall, and the liberation of Europe, fall victim to arbitrary decisions from Brussels which have been taken in the interests of speculators who want to make a killing over the rubble and wasteland of the shipyard? We demand decisions by the Commission which will help to rescue and develop the shipbuilding industry."@en1
