"I have voted against the report. Regions bordering the candidate countries will experience the effects of enlargement more quickly and more directly than the present Member States. The Christian Democrats therefore see nothing wrong with the Commission’s proposing to appropriate special resources for improving the infrastructure and, for example, encouraging youth exchanges with adjacent regions in the candidate countries. We do not, however, believe that resources additional to those in the Commission proposal need to be provided. Nor do we see any reason why small and medium-sized enterprises should be allocated additional aid to enable them to cope successfully with the competition from the candidate countries for a long time to come. On the contrary, these enterprises should see enlargement as a positive challenge. Given the possibility of reaching agreements with trade unions and local enterprises, the Christian Democrats do not support the report’s demands for temporary transitional periods with regard to freedom to provide services and the free movement of workers. In practice, that would create a second-class membership of the EU. Finally, we question whether the need for aid for this total of 23 regions in Finland, Germany, Austria, Italy and Greece really is greater than the corresponding need for aid for the border regions between the candidate countries and their eastern neighbours."@en1
