"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, a few speeches here made me feel as if we were not living in the same Europe when it comes to the European Neighbourhood Policy. This is because what they often seemed to imply is that some Members put the problems of the European Union’s neighbours ahead of the problems of the EU itself. Every one of us acknowledged that the processes of the Arab Spring are welcome and forward-looking. We all wish for the strengthening and development of democratic institutions in neighbouring countries. However, Commissioner Füle, if I heard you correctly, you said that we were spending EUR 350 million on the new spring programme for instance. And all this while Europe is in trouble!
Just think how many jobs could have been created from all that money, how many plants and processing facilities could have been built in Europe to serve the interests of the European people. Europe does need to protect its borders and Europe does need to protect its markets."@en1
