lpv:translated text	". With the Council and the Commission representing the governments, the European Parliament is called upon to embody democracy and express the concerns of the public at large. However, Mr Trentin's draft report is the perfect illustration of the fact that, although Parliament is elected by universal suffrage, the interests that it represents are solely those of employers, and are contrary to those of the Union's working classes. The modifications requested by Parliament's rapporteur will all lead to a deterioration in workers' terms and conditions. The report calls for employment to be more flexible. It recommends what it has the cheek to call 'active ageing', which amounts to making people work for longer and pushing back the retirement age. If it mentions social policy at all, it is to affirm with brutal cynicism that it has to be 'a productive factor'. If it envisages having, for example, a policy of 'lifelong learning', it is to provide employers with a mobile workforce that has the right qualifications to meet their needs. As regards 'restructuring processes' – in fact mass redundancies – it merely, 'promotes preventive consultation of employees'. The only social measure in this report is therefore the obligation to inform workers that they are going to be made redundant! We will therefore be voting against this text, which has been drawn up for, and on behalf of, employers."@en1
