"Mr President, I should have liked to have taken advantage of the presence of Commissioner Barroso, who will join us later, to question him about the recent statements to the press by the Commissioner for Regional Policy. Mrs Hübner stated, in fact, that, in her view, it was necessary to facilitate relocation within Europe so that European companies might reduce their costs. At a time when we are in the middle of debating the EU’s political priorities for 2005, can Mr Barroso tell us whether he supports this approach? According to the latest figures from Eurostat, the highest rates of unemployment in the EU are in the new Member States. Seen in this light, of course, the strategy proposed by Mrs Hübner is perfectly understandable. What she said illustrates the reality of an enlargement that has taken place without any new budgetary resources. What the Commissioner is proposing to us is that we rob Peter to pay Paul. Might Mr Barroso be in favour of institutionalising social and fiscal dumping within the EU?"@en1
