With the “Lisbon Process”, the EU has decided once and for all to engage upon the road to all-out liberalism. In imitation of the Davos Forum, bringing together the elite of the ruling classes, at the Lisbon Summit the EU set itself the goal of becoming “the most competitive and dynamic... economy in the world”. After the launch of the single market in 1985, and of the euro in 1997, this is just one more step in building a Europe which responds only to the interests of capital.
The smokescreen of rhetoric on “full employment”, vocational training or promoting the spread of new technologies is not enough to conceal the actual attacks on the world of work set forth in the resolution. The widespread privatisation and liberalisation of further public services, the commercialisation of information technology in the educational system and in administration, the opening up of pension funds, the dismantling of the current pension system, flexibility in employment – all these are measures that speak volumes as to the antisocial nature of the Lisbon policy. This is heightened by the recent Treaty of Nice and will be exacerbated by closer cooperation between governments centred on the new convergence criteria.
In opposition to the “Lisbon Process” we would advocate Europe-wide harmonisation of social rights, pensions, public services, wages and employment in line with the most favourable conditions."@en1
