"Mr President, the number of natural recipients of EU funding is currently just under half the total membership. As we extend membership to more and more and even poorer eastern states, the proportion of net recipients will increase to perhaps two-thirds. This will self-evidently be at the expense of current net contributors, but it will also be at the expense of current members that are net recipients. Easing visa restrictions, we are often told, has nothing to do with migration, by which they mean, of course, legal migration. It will have everything to do with illegal migration: the trafficking of people to work for less than the minimum wage and less than minimum working conditions. It will also deplete that country of people of working age who might bring the country out of poverty. Lastly, I would say that Moldova declared its independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union. Does it really wish to surrender its independence to the EU, however much it might receive in pieces of silver?"@en1
