This report ‘urges’ Poland to speed up the effective implementation of the acquis communautaire so that she can respect the commitments she has given and fully benefit from the advantages inherent in accession to the European Union. But what exactly is the content of the acquis communautaire that the Polish people, especially the Polish farmers, can expect?
We certainly support the demand of all candidate countries, especially Poland, not to be treated like members of an EU second division. Yet the CAP reforms and structural funds require much more than strict budgetary calculations. Agriculture plays a major role in satisfying needs and fundamental rights, from the right to the sovereignty of food to questions of health and the environment, via regional balances and jobs. Candidate countries such as Poland should participate fully in the definition of an entirely new European agricultural policy.
As far as the Polish industrial machine is concerned, it is whipping itself into shape for a Europe that has demoted it from the rank of favourite to that of outsider in terms of accession. In fact, the formulae applied have left entire regions disaster stricken, with an official unemployment rate of 16%. The socio-economic failure of Poland will be that of so-called ‘liberal’ formulae imposed by accession. This is the reason why we have not voted for this report."@en1
