lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the restructuring of firms in Europe is due to an increase in manufacturing capacity, the implementation of new technology and the globalisation of the whole economy. This process has serious social and economic consequences. Production becomes concentrated in economically and technologically stronger regions, at the cost of less developed regions. This is particularly visible in the new Member States where whole sectors of industry have disappeared. In Poland, for example, light industry and, to a significant extent, the car manufacturing, electronics and mining sectors have disappeared, and with them jobs. The progressive globalisation of production and the liberalisation of markets have resulted in a further deepening of economic and social divides. Regions which have high levels of agricultural production and a developed network of agricultural and food industries such as sugar, fruit and vegetables and refrigeration in particular, lose out the most. Poland is again one of the countries that have suffered most and is located in one of the worst affected regions. So who benefits? The ‘old’ Member States and economically powerful industrial regions benefit and will continue to benefit, especially as the European Union is directing most of its efforts towards achieving profits from trade with third countries in manufactured articles, which make up 85% of turnover in goods. Agricultural products only make up 15% of turnover. This begs the fundamental question: what relation does the policy of the EU authorities in the field of enterprise bear to the basic principles of the European Union, such as European solidarity, equal opportunities, sustainable development or human rights?"@en1
