The leaders of the EU member states who everyday make statements and comments about other countries and regard this as their rightful task, describe it as an act of intervention in their internal affairs when a comment is made about their own countries. This embodies the policy of "double standards" of the EU countries which we persistently emphasize. We regard the Belgian Prime Minister's statement in this way.
