"Mr President, I should like to start by expressing my pleasure at the result of the elections in the Netherlands, in which my party, the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), increased its number of seats from nine to twenty four. We have therefore followed our success in the European elections with a splendid victory in the national elections.
After all, the Dutch people want less immigration, more security and, in particular, less Europe. Europe’s internal market works very well, but the pumping round of money from ‘good’ to ‘weak’ States has to stop. Therefore, this sham Parliament is completely unnecessary, Mr Verhofstadt, Mr Schulz, President Barroso, as all it does is waste money.
In addition, your tough language here about intervention would have been appropriate years ago, when Greece presented false figures. You allowed yourself to be deceived for many years, as you were blind – blinded by your own desire for enlargement – and, do you know, Mr President, you still are. Just take a look at the list of countries that are now knocking on the door wanting to join the EU: Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia, Turkey.
Also, today this House is discussing Iceland, which is a bankrupt country, a country that wants to continue to allow gruesome whale hunting and one that, according to the provisional conclusions of the investigation, has defrauded the Netherlands Central Bank. If you remember, Greece did the same thing. You are refusing to take action. You are saying to Iceland, ‘Come in; yes, you can continue to hunt for whales, yes, you can falsify figures, and the fact that you are bankrupt does not make any difference’. You are blinded by your desire for enlargement, and you are distressing our citizens considerably in the process."@en1
