"Mr President, Europe’s economy is experiencing a period of growth. This has led to lower unemployment, improved public finances and a reduction in the average budget deficit. It should be emphasised that labour productivity has risen, and this has made us more competitive. I believe it is appropriate to point out to the House that these positive economic trends emerged following the enlargement of the European Union. Low economic development was a feature of all of the 10 new countries which joined the Union in May 2004. A more detailed study reveals that economic growth was significantly higher in the countries which liberalised their labour market and opened it up to the flow of workers from the new countries. It may therefore confidently be stated that enlargement of the Union benefited both the old Fifteen and the new Ten. It is to be hoped that the accession of Bulgaria and Romania will prove a further positive stimulus to the Union’s economic growth."@en1
