".
The second Zappalà report on awarding contracts in the water, energy and transport sectors pursues the same objectives as the first Zappalà report on awarding contracts. On the pretext of simplifying and updating existing Community legislation, the rapporteur hopes to create a genuine, liberalised single European market in the water, energy and transport sectors. The criterion favoured is that of price over social and territorial cohesion, equality and employment.
The battle raging over threshold values, like that of taking into greater consideration social and environmental aspects, is, of course, important. We have therefore voted in favour of the amendments that aimed to do this. But we reject the underlying logic of the rapporteur and the Commission, namely that of liberalising these sectors, as it presents a risk for users and employees. On the contrary, whereas some governments are contemplating a review of their policy of liberalising and privatising their public services, the approach of the rapporteur and the Commission seems archaic and dogmatic. That is why we voted against the report."@en1
