lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to denounce the fact that, last week, another two workers died in Greece and two others were seriously injured in the mines belonging to the president of the Association of Hellenic Industries, Mr Kyriakopoulos. These two deaths come in the wake of another six deaths as the result of similar accidents at work, together with dozens of injuries in September alone. It would appear that workers in the countries of the European Union – and I am speaking of Greece in particular – are indeed considered to be expendable resources and their health and their lives are being sacrificed by big business to the quest for maximum profit. It is my impression that this intolerable situation is not manifesting itself in Greece alone. The evidence proves it, perhaps more intensely in Greece. Hundreds lose their lives and thousands are injured every year in my country alone. Imagine what is happening in the European Union as a whole. If you think this is in keeping with generous proclamations about employment, about securing health and safety in the workplace, then we really are mistaken. That is why we believe that this is yet another sign of the system under which we live and the barbarity of that system towards people trying to earn an honest living."@en1
