"Mr President, the Őry report is a valuable document that highlights the ongoing social disintegration of the new Member States. The post-Communist countries have experienced so many changes and transformations over a short space of time that our heads are still spinning.
One-time Communists quickly found their feet in this new situation. After plundering state coffers, they metamorphosed into businessmen or remained in politics. The weakest in society, and by this I mean whole social classes, have been the least able to find their bearings in the new set-up. Workers have lost their jobs and found themselves in debt after being deprived of their means of production and their markets. Health care is no longer accessible to everyone. The welfare state has downed tools, and citizens have discovered they have been left to their own resources overnight.
Polish citizens do not have much faith in their own politicians. Instead, they place their trust in the EU and pin great hopes on it. More money is needed to achieve our ambitious goals of social inclusion, job creation and the promotion of entrepreneurship. This is a strategically important stage of the debate on the EU budget, and the Commission and the Council should not forget that every euro invested in the new Member States remains in the EU’s pocket and amounts to investing in the EU itself."@en1
