"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, given that it will soon be Christmas, it is only right and proper to wish all the Members of this House the very best. I wish you every good fortune, and I hope that a spirit of honesty and truth will guide us in our policy-making. Faced as we are today with the British Presidency’s proposals, which quite clearly operate against the basic interests of the 10 new Member States, we have no choice but to ask ourselves a searching question. How can it have been possible for one of the richest countries in this European Union, a Union which is still being developed, to have devised a system whereby the poorer countries have to give money to the richer ones, and whereby development programmes are designed in such a way as to ensure that poor countries foot the bill? Poland spent 150 billion in order to come into line with EU requirements before accession, and I must therefore register my protest in the name of honesty, truth and cohesion. The European Union cannot develop further without solidarity."@en1
