Mr President, ever since I came to the European Parliament, I keep asking myself why Switzerland and Norway have not joined the European Union, and I wonder if it is because they have the best of both worlds. The benefits of being in the European Union without the obligations.

Signor Presidente, da quando sono arrivato al Parlamento europeo, continuo a chiedermi per quale motivo la Svizzera e la Norvegia non abbiano aderito all'Unione europea; mi chiedo se questo non dipenda dal fatto che in questo modo riescono a trarre il massimo beneficio da entrambe le realtà, ossia avere i vantaggi di essere parte dell'Unione europea senza averne gli obblighi.
Panie Przewodniczący! Za każdym razem, gdy przychodzę do Parlamentu Europejskiego, od nowa zadaję sobie pytanie, dlaczego Szwajcaria i Norwegia nie zostały członkami Unii Europejskiej, i jestem ciekaw, czy nie jest tak dlatego, że są one teraz w najlepszej sytuacji: czerpią korzyści z udziału w Unii Europejskiej, a nie mają w tym kontekście zobowiązań.
