"In the report on the future of the EU's own resources, the ΕU is preparing to extend the swingeing tax policy of the governments of the Member States. The brunt of the cost of promoting the anti-grassroots policies of the European Union will be paid for by the workers.
Basic measures proposed, such as increasing VAT and the energy consumption tax from 2014 onwards, will make the workers even worse off. In Greece, the one point increase in VAT and the constant repricing of energy have made it even more difficult for grassroots families to make ends meet.
The constituent element of the correction of budgetary imbalances referred to in the report is a reduction in spending in the agricultural sector, which means even more small- and medium-sized farms will go out of business. This is presented as a fairer distribution of resources. At the same time, the EU is allegedly strengthening its policy on terrorism but is in fact strengthening its attack on the personal rights and freedoms of the peoples.
The communication policy of the EU is being put on a need-to-know basis in a bid to cultivate a 'European conscience'; in other words to subjugate the workers to anti-grassroots policies.
The report talks of the indirect revenue of the Member States through the policies of the ΕU. This is a gift from the capitalist ΕU to capital. The workers just see their standard of living deteriorate."@en1
