".
The delegation of the Dutch People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy considered it should vote against the Oomen-Ruijten report on the Social Policy Agenda for the period 2006-2010. The report mentions a number of matters which should not be regulated at European level, such as the proposal for a legislative initiative for a European minimum wage. In addition, the VVD cannot see the point of promoting a model for European education and training. These are typical examples of unwanted interference from Brussels which undermines national sovereignty, something that is unacceptable to the VVD.
Similarly, the request to the Commission to set up a voluntary framework for transnational collective bargaining is superfluous. Social partners already operate at European level and can settle these matters among themselves much more effectively. The crowning touch is the abundance of new directives proposed in the report, many of which put a suffocating blanket over entrepreneurs, as a result of which they can no longer get round to running their businesses. This could have a boomerang effect on employment, which should never be the intention of social policy, in my view. For the VVD, the best social policy at European level is the creation of jobs."@en1
