"Mr President, to all those worried and talking about incentives and criteria, I wish to say that there is no need to worry. Our 'transatlantic friend' has taken steps to ensure that both Romania and Bulgaria will accede to the European Union on time.
To tell the truth, the driver of the European vehicle is sitting in the back seat. Bulgaria was the first country to support the United States of America in the war in Iraq and now it is again the first country willing to take part in the new venture that leads to Iran. Let us look at the parallel consequences:
firstly, the poorer areas of the countries of Europe covered by the Cohesion Fund today will not be covered tomorrow because another two poor countries will join it. Tell your voters in southern Italy, in France, in Ireland, in Portugal and in Spain that there will be no more money and that they will not be entitled to money from the Cohesion Fund;
secondly, if a Polish plumber travelled thousands of kilometres to get work in Paris, a Bulgarian plumber, farmer or worker will travel just 15 kilometres. So protect Greek workers who have been living within the framework of Europe for 25 years and will lose their jobs."@en1
