"Commissioner, I cannot agree with one single word of the liberal views that you have expressed here. You proposed quartering the assets of Poland’s shipyards, selling them in an unconditional tender, and then putting them in the hands of private investors. In whose interest, I wonder, is this proposition? It is definitely not in the interests of the shipyard workers, nor in the interests of the shipyards themselves, but of the investors.
I would also like to tell you that the proposal you have tabled is unfortunately not possible under Polish law, as it simply means insolvency. Why did you and the Commission not propose quartering the assets of European banks and selling them off in an unconditional tender? Today governments are proposing 10 billion for guarantees for Holland, 10.5 billion for France, 400 billion for Germany, because Europe is a place of social values and solidarity.
I know that some Polish governments have made many mistakes. Unfortunately they have to be rectified now, and the Polish Government needs time now – at least one year – to ensure that these mistakes do not hit Polish workers. I appeal to you for more time. I appeal to you for social sensitivity and economic common sense. The Polish shipyards are European shipyards."@en1
