The Common Strategy of the European Union on Ukraine is merely a programme for accelerating the introduction of liberalism. Considerations about supporting the process of democratic transition do nothing to disguise the fact that the principal aim is to introduce a market economy and free trade.
We are radically opposed to this way of thinking, which asks the Ukrainian authorities to give priority to encouraging ‘private enterprise’ and ‘internal investments’, to establishing in Ukraine, obviously with the help of European and international financial institutions, ‘a foreign investments promotion agency’, or to accelerating ‘agricultural reform’ and ‘the transition to private ownership of the land’.
As for those recitals which ask Ukraine to strengthen its system of border controls, so as to push out even further the barbed-wire fences of Fortress Europe, they can only aggravate the tragic refugee situation.
This Common Strategy will bring with it only unemployment, social and economic catastrophe and poverty for the majority of the Ukrainian population, and will enable European investors to become even richer. That is why I voted against this report."@en1
