"Just a few things in brief. We are heterogeneous – for example, I come from the new Member States, and am the first person from there to speak today – poor in capital, with a defenceless public sector and a very unhappy past, which threatens us with its return in an imperialistic manner. And everybody must take this seriously.
The second thing, which has been discussed here, is that these sovereign state funds very often serve imperialistic goals, and not only in medium-term investments but also in the world’s energy sources; look at China’s shopping in Africa. It is therefore not certain that this international agreement or code of conduct alone will be enough.
After the relevant analysis, we must think long and hard about whether some Member States are taking national security measures on a uniform basis that would prevent foreign bandit investments in strategic sectors, and that this would not act against the free flow of capital but would still mean some security. Thank you."@en1
