"Mr President, for us is a remarkable window on the world, and it is a channel I am very keen on, but I often wonder about the content of its advertisements. When I switched on the television this morning I saw an advert for Macedonia. And what did I read? ‘A tax-haven for businesses, average wage EUR 370, 10% income tax’ etc. If this is how Macedonia intends to present its application to join the European Union, and if I ask people in my region, ‘Do you want Macedonia to join the EU?’ – well I assure you it will not work. At a time when we are discussing offshoring within Europe and the fight against social dumping, can we still allow such advertisements to be the window onto social Europe? I do not think so. I also used to wonder about an advert for Iran; at a time when public stonings took place there, we used to allow adverts for that seraphic country."@en1
