"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that Commissioner Reding is treating immigration and the issue of employees from third countries together, because this raises three problems. The first one is that labour from third countries cannot be treated otherwise, or at least I cannot treat it otherwise, than as strike breakers in a strike. Because Europe, realising that there is nothing it can do about its own employees and unemployment, takes the easier path: why, let us import employees from outside Europe cheaply, at low wages, and disregard the problems of the European people. I would only like to remind my fellow Members that the reason why they are sitting here in the European Parliament is to deal first and foremost with the problems of the European people.
Our job is primarily to curb European, and not African unemployment for instance. The second problem I would like to bring to your attention are the differences in salaries. Why is it not first ensured that a Hungarian employee earns as much as, say, a German, a French or an Italian employee? The third problem is the issue of immigration itself. Immigration into Europe must be stopped immediately; we all saw what happened in London, Madrid or Berlin. The same will happen in other Member States with similar critical social tensions. Thank you for your attention."@en1
