"Instead of proposals calling for effective responses to the serious social problems in the EU – more than 22 million people unemployed and 72 million people living below the poverty line – the President-in-Office of the Council continues to press for measures to support competitiveness and competition. In this context, the emphasis on research, development and innovation is always presented as a means of creating the right conditions for business and not as a much-needed response to questions of better health for all, higher levels of public education and the creation of high quality jobs with rights. Mr Blair, the President-in-Office of the Council, thus placed the accent on the need for greater flexibility in the labour market and on mobility and support for restructuring, which leads to job cuts, and in turn to more unemployment and a more precarious labour market. He also reiterated support for the proposed directive on the creation of an internal market for services and on working time. On this evidence, it is clear that what is in store is an emphasis on liberalisation, which would exacerbate existing economic and social problems, would only serve the interests of the economic and financial groups in the EU and would pander to the agenda of the Union of Industrial and Employers’ Confederations of Europe."@en1
