lpv:translated text	". As we have repeatedly pointed out, the intrinsic economic and political aims of the current enlargement are there for all to see, and once again expressed in the resolution voted on just now. The resolution glosses over the fact that implementing neoliberal policies is a prerequisite for, and a backdrop to, EU accession, although it does mention the deified ‘functioning market economy’, which means capitalism and the domination and exploitation of an increasingly sizeable portion of that country’s economy by the large financial and economic groups. It also mentions ‘direct foreign investment’, which, to some people’s delight, has reached ‘record levels’, which means even greater domination of the Bulgarian economy by the large financial groups. Applauding Bulgaria’s efforts is at variance with the EU’s much-trumpeted aims. Economic and social cohesion cannot be built on the foundation of competition and the relocation of capital as a function of increasingly unbridled exploitation. That activity, which leaves unemployment and poverty in its wake – as evidenced by company relocations in Portugal – does not create genuine wealth in the country concerned. The resolution itself mentions that many people have not detected any improvement in their economic situation and that emigration continues."@en1
