lpv:translated text	"Mr President, obviously I do not share with the rapporteur in offering congratulations to the ECB. As for presenting the purely formal actions of the managers of the European Central Bank to involve the European Parliament as if it were the expression of democratic control, that is just a feeble joke. Having said that, I feel bound to object in particular to the virtual declaration of war against the workers and the unemployed of the European Union in the form of the objective declared by Mr Noyer, the Vice-President of the ECB, when he speaks, and I quote, of the need to “reduce rigidities in labour markets” or even for “a break with often deeply rooted habits and allegedly acquired rights”. Well, we know that the rights he is talking about are simply the rights to a job and to a wage which affords a person a decent living. These gentlemen of the Central Bank act like the spokesmen for the employers who are effectively in the process of reducing “rigidities in labour markets” by axing thousands of jobs, such as Michelin, Renault-Nissan, Alsthom, Rhône-Poulenc, and Hoest Marion Roussel and many others even now, or by propagating the precariousness of jobs by means of wages which cast an increasing proportion of the population into ever greater poverty while the fortunes of major shareholders continue to grow. Gentlemen, beware, their attitude will ultimately trigger the reactions they deserve among workers and the unemployed. I hope that in all the countries of the European Union these reactions will unite the victims of the policy of employers."@en1
