"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, over recent years, an idea has grown that, to my mind, is not only wrong, but also extremely dangerous. This is that in order to create new jobs and boost growth and development, it is essential to remove social safeguards and reduce the rights of people who are working and who will be joining the labour market. Unfortunately, traces of this idea are present in the Commission’s communication, because decentralising collective bargaining, which would nullify national collective bargaining, not only objectively harms weaker people, who would not have the same protection as before, but also introduces a form of social dumping between those who have one condition and those who have another, and alters the competitive mechanisms of the companies themselves. The same is true when considering encouraging the creation of a contract that would be stable, but based on very basic conditions, which once again affects people’s rights. I believe that this cannot be the point of reference, but instead this should be what Europe wrote in Lisbon as long ago as the year 2000, and that is that belief in know-how, in the growth of knowledge and the ability to innovate, in terms of both the product and the process, and working men and women, is one of the main, fundamental values of any concept of business now and in the future."@en1
