"Mr President, 2009 represents a year of enlarged prospects for Europe, prospects that will be offered by the Lisbon Treaty. It is also a year of hope for deeper unity in Europe because of the new elections to the European Parliament.
As Mr Barroso mentioned, we shall celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. May I take this opportunity to remind you that it fell in Warsaw. This will also be the 5th anniversary of the accession of former communist states to the European Union. This accession has not always been entirely equable: Polish farmers are still competing on unequal terms with farmers in the old Union.
In spite of this it is my belief that 2009 will erase the differences between our countries, at least on a psychological level, and will increase the sense of unity and influence of the European Union."@en1
