lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would like to express my concern at the continuing disagreement on the interpretation of Convention No 87, the ILO Convention on the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise. It now appears that employer groups within the ILO no longer support the interpretation of the Committee of Experts on this particular convention. The jurisprudence of the ILO has stood for 60 years on this convention and has interpreted the right to strike as an intrinsic corollary to the right to organise. This right has been recognised internationally as a fundamental right of workers and their organisations. The freedom to associate, to organise, to bargain collectively, make it possible to ensure decent working conditions. Collective bargaining is a mechanism that helps to ensure beneficial outcomes for workers and productive solutions for employers. Collective bargaining can only be achieved by the freedom to organise, and one of those freedoms is the right to strike – as a last resort, to withdraw labour. Without that right it is like having really good legislation in place but no sanctions for non-compliance. Collective bargaining has no proper foundation without the right to strike. With regard to the current situation, as the Commissioner said, there will be a tripartite meeting at the end of February to try to resolve the current impasse. You, Commissioner, have outlined very clearly the current situation and the willingness of the Commission to support all players by supplying information from the EU, where the right to strike is fundamental. However, cases like Rüffert, Laval, etc. and the thorny issue of the posting of workers may have sown some of the seeds of this dissent, and we need to finally sort out that matter. But I am heartened to hear of your commitment to finding a resolution. At a global level it is crucial."@en1
