"Mr President, information has recently been circulating in Europe about the activities of the Freedom Party in the Netherlands and its leader Geert Wilders, who has created a special website encouraging citizens to submit reports or rather complaints about workers in the Netherlands who have come from outside the country. The main subjects of these complaints, due to the number of such employees in the Netherlands, are Poles, who are, I would emphasise, working there legally in many Dutch companies. They are being accused of taking jobs and benefits while, according to Dutch banks, it is Poles working in the Netherlands that account for 0.3% of Dutch GDP, which translates into almost EUR 2 billion. Wilders’ response to the reactions from ambassadors of many countries to these upsetting events has been ‘mind your own business’. I am disappointed by the failure of the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to comment on this development, despite the fact that half of the Dutch people are waiting for the Dutch Prime Minister to distance himself from such a xenophobic initiative."@en1
