lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President. Prime Minister Thorning-Schmidt, I am afraid I have never in my life before heard quite so much hollow rhetoric and empty words as I have heard from you today. You seem similar to Mr Barroso, in this respect. What you said was meaningless, from start to finish, just like the stuff we are used to hearing from the Commission and Mr Barroso. Europe has been promising economic growth for fifteen years already, has it not? The Lisbon Strategy promises that Europe will be the strongest economy in the world, but what a joke that has turned out to be. In reality, European socialism has resulted in mass unemployment, bankrupt countries, economic decline and politicians who are only out to fill their own pockets. However, I wish to make an urgent appeal to you, because the Netherlands has a big problem with Europe. The Netherlands has one of the best social systems in the world and we are proud of that and, yet, Europe, European bureaucracy is working to destroy the Dutch system. What I mean is that it is unacceptable that European migrant workers should have the right to benefit from social services after spending only year in their host country. You should have to spend at least ten years in a country before being able to avail yourself of its social services. But Europe prohibits us from imposing that condition. It is very important that the Netherlands is given scope to protect itself from all those Romanian and Bulgarian fortune hunters and keep them out of our social system, so that it can continue to exist for the benefit of Dutch people. Would you, therefore, put that at the top of your agenda, Prime Minister Thorning-Schmidt?"@en1
