lpv:translated text	"The rapporteur acknowledges that the privatisation of state-owned enterprises and of public services in poor countries – privatisation desired and imposed by big Western investors and by the states that defend their interests – has helped increase poverty in the developing countries. Now that the European Commission, which is among the guarantors of the interests of big European investors, seems to be advocating more diversified forms of privatisation in these poor countries, to their disadvantage, the rapporteur openly backs its recommendations. Well, we, on the other hand, do not. We are, on principle, opposed to the open or creeping privatisation of public services, for it leads, always and everywhere, to a deterioration in the populations’ living conditions. In poor countries, this drastic impairment of peoples’ conditions of life, and even of survival, is all the more appalling in that, as the rapporteur acknowledges, it is aimed at depriving what are already some of the most destitute peoples on the planet of the very little that they have, a process that is to the sole benefit of the Western multinationals which, for their part, make more profit than they can cope with. We have therefore voted against this report."@en1
