lpv:translated text	"Mr President, despite the fact that tourism is an important and stable source of revenue for EU countries, it is right to discuss opportunities for boosting its potential. In my opinion, one effective and available measure we might quickly deploy to boost revenue in tourism, is a more flexible EU visa policy. Experience from the time when my own country did not apply visa restrictions on its Eastern neighbours showed us that the inhabitants of Ukraine, Russia and also other countries from this region were very interested in learning about life in advanced European countries. Following the introduction of the Schengen border and the introduction of mandatory visas for visitors from the east, our tourism revenues fell very sharply. I therefore firmly believe that greater openness and a more flexible EU visa policy towards countries with dynamic economic growth would relatively quickly bring in significant numbers of new customers for European companies operating in the field of tourism."@en1
