"Madam President, I wish to comment on three points in the European Commission's programme on employment. The first relates to the Commission proposal to encourage the creation of common principles to strengthen job flexibility and security. The Commission even notes that this combination has been recognised as a necessity. By whom has it been recognised? Obviously by the employers who approve the framework of the pure market. However, no one should cite the workers, because it is they who suffer from minimum working times, breaches of working times and flexibility of the market.
My second comment concerns the question of immigration. The Commission says that, because the needs of the market have increased, immigrants need to be approached. That is exactly the message which the exploiters are waiting for in order to import cheap labour and use it to 'break' domestic markets and reduce wages. Immigrants should not be used as battering rams, but as people with the same rights alongside local workers.
Finally, as with the directive on the liberalisation of services, the same with the Commission programme: the workers and citizens are not suffering from a problem of reduced perception, as some have said; they simply disagree and no one should misinterpret that."@en1
