"Mr President, I would like to draw your attention to another case of discrimination that has arisen recently. My colleague hired a car from Europcar in Brussels to drive to Strasbourg. The hire company’s representative explained to him that the car could not be used in the countries of the East and indicated the forbidden areas. I found that very strange because Europcar operates in all the new member countries. How is that possible?
I have myself hired cars for two years in Budapest and I was able to drive from Budapest to Brussels. I did not, however, travel from Brussels to Budapest with a car from the same company. The explanation given was that it was a very dangerous area. Now, statistics show that fewer cars are stolen in Slovenia and Hungary than in some countries of the Fifteen. That is no doubt a detail, but it reminds you of the case of the Polish plumber."@en1
