"Madam President, first can I just note that it is a bit odd that today’s debate on this matter occurs after the negotiations have been so painstakingly – and, on behalf of Mr Pirinski, brilliantly – concluded in the trilogue. Why are we having the debate after the matter has already been agreed? Surely that of itself is undeclared work by Parliament?
Secondly, I would just like to respond to our colleagues from UKIP, although as usual they are not actually here for the debates.
Not the ones who spoke; neither of the ones who spoke have stayed to listen to the rest of the debate, they have done their little bit of theatre and buggered off as usual. They gave us a load of nonsense about how we must not have these measures because it is anti-competitive. They tried to give us lessons about competitiveness and economics, and as usual they do not understand competitiveness and they do not understand economics. The whole point is that, at this end of the labour market, you need regulation in order to have a level playing field. The people who suffer from this lack of regulation, as well as workers, are precisely those small and medium enterprises whose competition is not from massive multinationals, it is from people below them in the labour market not paying taxes, not paying social costs and thereby getting an unfair advantage. If you understood anything you would understand that."@en1
