lpv:translated text	"The Katiforis report is a crude apology for the broad economic policy guidelines of the Member States. Of its 29 paragraphs, eight start by showing approval and four by being self-congratulatory. For the working population and just about everyone else in the countries of the European Union, there is really nothing for which to congratulate oneself. What good is the economic growth vaunted by the report when it is recommended that ‘reasonable attitudes in wage negotiations’ are adopted, by employees of course, or when it is presumptuously claimed that ‘a drastic revision of pension systems’ is needed with the aim of ‘safeguarding their financial soundness’? This is simply a way of acknowledging that, in this ‘growth’ which the Katiforis report asks Parliament to congratulate, there is no room for employees or pensioners. Once again, the Council and Commission are acting on behalf of employers and are asking Parliament to give its backing to this. As far as we are concerned, we were not elected to congratulate governments which help employers and major financial groups to get rich by exacerbating inequalities, leaving 18 million men and women unemployed, making flexibility and precariousness widespread and drastically reducing the wage bill in order to ensure continued growth in capital income, including in its most parasitic and speculative forms. If, as the report states, it is true that growth is returning, it is simply disgraceful that only a small minority in Europe will benefit from this. As a result we have voted against the report."@en1
