lpv:translated text	". The enlargement of the European Union to include the ten countries of Eastern Europe plus Malta and Cyprus is a great project. For indeed, who could deny entry into the European House to States such as the Poland of Copernicus and John Paul II, the Hungary bullied in Budapest in 1956 or the capital that has become a symbol, Prague, when popular democracies threw the Head of State out of the window and crushed the nation of Jan Palach, sacrificed in the name of freedom. It is, however, precisely because of this harrowing past that our affection for our European brothers in the East, might induce in us some unease at seeing them, having just emerged from the bureaucratic totalitarianism of the Soviet Empire, fall into the clutches of another form of totalitarianism, just as bureaucratic, that of the free trade empire of untrammelled ultraliberalism. Is it really in the interest of farmers in Poland or Hungary to condemn themselves to becoming redundant within two decades of entering the Union? Is it really in the interest of the Greek Cypriots, who, like their fellow countrymen in Thrace, have known for more than a century what Turkey signifies, to become members of a European Union which will tomorrow allow their former torturers to travel freely and reside freely in their land? This is why I and my fellow Members of the European Parliament from the would like to spare the nations of Eastern Europe the mistake of being ‘disintegrated’ within the American-European Union. Everyone has free will, however. We are warning them, as friends. We shall welcome them, as friends. As friends, however, we are too dubious about the wisdom of their decision not to refrain from putting them on their guard."@en1
