lpv:translated text	"The Iron Curtain collapsed fifteen years ago, and people from Eastern Europe were sincerely looking forward to becoming equal partners, certainly after having met certain economic criteria. What is the truth today? Mr Verheugen, along with many parliament members, was compassionately discussing here the problems caused by lay-offs in Alstom, mentioning the destiny of 250 employees. Dear Mr Verheugen, more than anyone else you should be aware that in Slovakia not hundreds, but thousands were left without jobs due to the reforms we had implemented to become a member of the European Union. To achieve this goal, Slovaks made great sacrifices. I believe no one regretted that – on becoming equal partners a year ago, we all rejoiced. At least we thought that way then. What is the truth today? I firmly believe that the old fifteen members, and not us, were far from being prepared for enlargement. The free movement of goods in an eastward direction has indeed come true – today our shops are as nice as yours, and this is fine; Slovaks do not need to go to the West to buy exclusive goods any more. But how do matters stand with the free movement of people? Even though discrimination based on nationality is forbidden, preference in offering employment should be given to workers from new member states over workers from third countries. With the exception of three countries, all the others have imposed transitional provisions lasting from 2 to 7 years, with an option to reconsider the issues afterwards; and, as a consequence, these periods might even be extended. This further deepens the legal uncertainty of employees. We know perfectly well that, being in the West, our people – highly skilled members of the younger generation, educated and multilingual – are earning higher salaries, but under what social, and humanly unworthy, conditions. This is what I am asking you: please, also pay attention to this."@en1
