lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance will be rejecting this Directive, as it is high time we created a social Europe as well as an economic and financial Europe. We must call a halt to all the practices that result in the subordination of social rights, health, safety and wellbeing of workers to the laws of an ill-considered liberalisation. For that reason, the Verts/ALE Group says a wholehearted ‘no’ to this Directive on ports. Dockers in Antwerp, Rotterdam, and also Hamburg or Genoa must be given the guarantee that ships will be unloaded in a professional, safe manner throughout the EU under pay conditions that are not pushed down by social dumping. Since there is to be no compulsory system of authorisations, the balance is abundantly clear. Parliament’s requests at second reading were not met. Hence, the European Parliament must now also reject the Directive in its entirety."@en1
