"Six months ago many people in this Chamber and also in the new Member States looked with hope and sympathy to the new, dynamic British Presidency and its leader. We heard about a vision of Europe’s competitiveness in the world and about an equalisation of socio-economic conditions in Europe. In Luxembourg various new Member States also proposed reducing their requirements for funds, if the bigger states could not reach a compromise. Unfortunately, this was the basis for the British proposal for the Financial Perspective, simultaneously reducing the amount of the budget and slightly reducing the ‘British rebate’. Here the debate is not about the roads that have not been built or the jobs that have not been created in the new Europe. Here the debate is about the fact that you have demonstrated to our people that the principle of solidarity is nothing but fine words. We wanted to see that by 2013 our people would be living a little more like ‘first class’ Europe. Our people in Latvia, my people, do not want to be merely a cheap workforce for your labour market and a cheap tourist destination for the tourists on your cut-price airlines. Thank you."@en1
