lpv:translated text	". Thank you, Madam President, I would also refer to my report and would like to specifically emphasise two points. The first point is the high level of unemployment in a number of the candidate countries. In Poland, for example, the employment figure is 19% and is not showing any signs of abating. This requires support for the most heavily affected areas and an effort by private investors, who should, at the same time, invest in training and in-service training. I would ask the Commission to throw its weight behind this plea too. A second point is the fear among our own citizens of losing their jobs or of large flows of immigrants from the candidate countries. This should be removed. There are plenty of arguments. The candidate countries are enjoying strong economic growth and will be able to accommodate their own citizens. The average monthly income in the enlargement countries is rising sharply, and exports from our countries to them is rising more steeply than the import from those countries. Belgium, for example, enjoys an annual increase of 15%. Moreover, all the figures bear out that immigration to the European Union is restricted. Commissioner, you have done sterling work at the summit of entrepreneurs, and many statistics have made their way to the press. This is vital, because we must dispel people's anxiety. I would urge you to continue in the same vein for all these social issues."@en1
