".
I do not believe that the purpose of the European Union has ever been to remain an exclusive club of the rich. I am in favour of future enlargements. The evidence points to Bulgaria and Romania having their place in the Union.
I deplore, however, the way in which governments, particularly those of Chirac, Blair, Schroeder and the like, deal with these issues. Grandiose speeches and closed wallets seem to be the motto. We have just experienced an enlargement without prior deepening. Now, certain Member States want to impose new enlargements on us with less money for the European budget.
I have nevertheless voted yes, so as not to mix up my protests with those of the opponents of enlargement."@en1
