lpv:translated text	"Mr President, at the beginning of this week, Ukraine made headlines in the Dutch press – and I will say it in this auditorium – not very flattering headlines, unfortunately. That was on Monday. In brief, Ukraine is the Wild West of Eastern Europe. Foreign investors are said to fear the lawlessness that reigns in this country where, last week, no fewer than 3 000 buildings and companies were expropriated through fraud and violence. This process involves wide boys acting in cahoots with the country’s politicians to dupe entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, Member States of the EU have been the largest direct foreign investors in Ukraine since 1991. Commissioner Füle, are you aware of these major concerns which affect European investors in Ukraine and what specific steps has the Commission taken to protect legitimate, legal European business interests in the Ukrainian economy? That would be showing commitment. We have nothing against Ukraine. My party even strongly advocates Ukraine’s eventual membership of the European Union, but we do have to maintain a sober perspective, of course. We are witnessing worrying developments, not only in the field of human rights, but also in the fields of economy and business."@en1
