Address by President of the European Parliament.

 

Economically, it is a win-win situation. When the accession states did their first Europe agreement with us in 1994, they bought €160 million worth of Irish goods. Last year as they grew, we grew with them. They bought €1.2 billion worth of Irish goods. Two years ago I visited Warsaw and Enterprise Ireland had an office growing Irish companies, not American companies, in central and eastern Europe. Do Members know that two years ago Irish foreign direct investment in Poland was worth more than €1 billion? Ireland is growing. It is a win-win situation.
