There must be no further apathy among voters in the forthcoming referendum. I appeal to the younger generation who are enthusiastic about Europe to vote "Yes". One can see from the attitudes of young people in schools and colleges that they look to Europe for the future. They are learning foreign languages and are interested in what is taking place in the new democracies that have evolved in eastern Europe. Many of these former communist countries have had enormous difficulties in overcoming hardship and deprivation. If we prevent or slow down the enlargement of the EU by voting down the Nice treaty again, it will have a negative impact on our community. I appeal to people not to be swayed by the propaganda and misinformation of the "No" campaign. Another defeat of the Nice treaty here would be detrimental to employment and agriculture and would damage the prospects for our economic advancement. It would create unemployment and hardship as well as devastating industry.
