"Giving voice to the interests, aspirations and demands of major employers’ organisations, the majority of this European Parliament is insisting on the Lisbon Strategy being fulfilled, in line with the European Commission’s economic guidelines and with the deepening of the associated neoliberal policies.
Thus, even amid the threat of financial crisis and a halt to economic growth, they insist on wage restraint, limiting public spending and
public administration as the main axes to develop, together with removing obstacles to competition and to market access, in other words, the liberalisation of public services. All this accompanied by greater job insecurity, an insistence upon flexicurity and the
of pension schemes, in other words, the devaluation and dismantling of the universal public social security system in the interests of private insurers.
To ensure that the Member States achieve such objectives, they are recommending greater control and pressure on those States, as if they had no share in the responsibility for adopting those guidelines. Whilst pretending not to realise what a profound effect such policies will have on the economic and social situation of the Member States, they continue to propound more of the same, which we roundly reject."@en1
