lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there is no justification for large companies making part of their workforce redundant on the pretext of mergers or restructuring, when just a small fraction of their profits would be enough to safeguard the jobs that have been lost. Danone, Michelin, Aventis, Bull, Alstom, Moulinex and similar companies have shown a total disregard for the workers that they have made redundant and for the regions that may be condemned to a slow decline by the closure of a factory, and this shows the harm that these companies inflict on society. We oppose the political opinions, in this House or elsewhere, that justify these criminal activities. Such opinions show that they do not in any way seek to act in the interests of society; only in the interests of the industrial and financial groups that dominate the economy and in the interests of the owners and shareholders of these groups. We also oppose those who pretend to deplore the effects of restructurings on society yet who do nothing to propose the slightest binding measure to prevent them. Apart from a complete ban on job losses upon large companies which are making a profit, all other action is mere posturing. We assure those who work for these companies, and who are fighting off these attacks upon them, that they have our solidarity. They have chosen the only sensible route in this economy dominated by the law of the jungle."@en1
