lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is indeed the case that visa policy is part of common European policy and it is my earnest desire that the Commission will prove itself to be effective in the framework of the negotiating mandate granted to it. Let us hope that it will come up with a good agreement, as that would represent a joint success. To date, however, we have allowed ourselves to be easily divided on this issue. The United States has divided European Union citizens into two groups. One may be termed the superior group, and those individuals are allowed to enter US territory without any difficulty. The other group is deemed inferior, and these people have to go through what are often humiliating procedures in order to enter the country. I should like to register my strong protest against this state of affairs, and also mention a situation that is gaining notoriety in the United States. The visa issue is a factor in the US electoral campaign. It is not right for one of the candidates to promise, for instance, lifting the visa requirement for my fellow citizens, namely Poles, thus targeting the huge Polish diaspora. We should prevent this from happening."@en1
