"Mr President, for us Poles the Gdansk shipyard is not just the birthplace of ‘Solidarity’, it is also a symbol of the changes that have taken place both on a national and international level. It is also a symbol of freedom and partnership. At present there is a conflict between the Board of the shipyard and the European Commission, which is demanding a drastic reduction in the shipyard’s capacity and the closure of two slipways, or else the refund of state aid. I would like to make public here that the Gdansk shipyard was the beneficiary that received the lowest subsidies and despite that was the only one of them to make a profit in the first six months of this year. If the shipyard were to give in and accept these conditions, then, practically speaking, this would be the end of this symbolic shipyard that has done so much to deserve assistance. The supervisory board of the shipyard has decided to increase the initial capital by PLN 300 million, which would be allocated for additional investment. It is still possible to save this shipyard. I believe that saving this workplace would be an honourable action not just for Poles, but also for the European Union. Today the workforce and I ask that the Members sign declaration no. 81 concerning the future of the Gdansk shipyard. In addition, on a formal issue, Mr President, could I say a couple of words since I have the floor? I would like to ask who gave Mr Schulz the job of censor? He does this job without politeness, without manners, he interferes in debates and speaks out of turn. I would also add that he certainly does not have the majority behind him."@en1
