"While the removal – moreover, partial and limited – of the borders between European Union Member States constitutes progress, the legal and material barriers which we are doing our utmost to strengthen around the Union represent a retrograde step towards barbarism. In the entire eastern part of enlarged Europe, these barriers are dividing peoples which had been united by a common past and are sometimes creating and aggravating divisions within the same population.
This has given rise to particularly outrageous consequences in the case of Kaliningrad, cut off from the rest of Russia. Until now, there were no particular administrative difficulties when travelling from Russia to Kaliningrad or vice versa. As of 2004, the European authorities will demand visas for this journey.
We are therefore being asked to approve a deterioration of conditions of movement for the inhabitants of Kaliningrad or those who go there. A deterioration sought and imposed by the European authorities, even though they are presenting it to us today as simple technical arrangements."@en1
