"Mr President, two phases of postal service liberalisation have already been implemented. The Commission has not, as yet, published a single study dealing solely with social conditions and the impact on postal workers of the opening up of the market. My question to you, Commissioner Barnier, is when will this study be made available to Parliament at long last? Yesterday, we heard from numerous postal workers from several EU Member States that entire workforces are already being dismissed by the new postal companies and re-employed under poorer conditions. Competition and competition policy must not be played out at the expense of the workers. If the Commission and Parliament really want to do something to combat poverty and exclusion in the EU, the third phase of the postal service liberalisation must now be discontinued. The consequences for postal workers and the quality of the universal service must first be investigated. We therefore call for a moratorium on the third phase of postal service liberalisation for the sake of customers and postal workers."@en1
