"Mr President, the Polish shipyard industry is under threat of total closure because the European Commission is demanding the return of sums provided from public aid. The effect of this will be that thousands of employees on the Baltic will lose their jobs, and tens of thousands of employees at factories that work with the shipyards, both in Poland and in other EU countries, will likewise be out of work.
The European Commission is hiding behind the slogan of free competition, not wanting to admit to itself that during a period of massive price rises on a global scale some sections of the economy need to be protected, as Asiatic countries are doing. The European Commission is unwilling to recall that the eastern
received more than one and a half billion marks in aid from the German Government, and that included shipyards located on the Baltic.
I am asking whether the people and the place where the solidarity movement began – the fall of the Berlin Wall, the liberation of Europe – must fall victim to arbitrary decisions taken in Brussels in the interests of speculators who are looking to make their fortunes out of the rubble and soil of the shipyards. We are demanding that the European Commission take decisions that will enable the shipyard industry in Poland to be salvaged and developed."@en1
