lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am pleased that this debate is taking place here today because the Parliament must be permanently attentive to the citizen’s needs and be the pioneer in the construction of Europe and, in order to fulfil this double objective, the development of the European social dimension seems fundamental. The resolution which were are now debating is a mixture of styles, of individual contributions, whose result is an extraordinarily unequal combination. But some of the reflections, especially those expressed by Mr Pronk, seem to me to be particularly important. But, allow me to say that those of us who believe that only competitive companies can create employment, and that only by creating employment can the European social model be preserved, have emerged the winners. And those who believe, by means of public intervention, in a type of arbitrary inventiveness, have emerged the losers. But, having said that, those of us who believe in the market and belong to this side of the Hemicycle, far from the autarchic temptations of some parts of this Assembly, believe that the principle of social compensation must counter-balance the principle of a functioning market. Therefore, I am especially pleased that our resolution opts for social dialogue as a method for resolving conflicts. I am also pleased that it opts to implement the Social Charter, the Social Protocol, by means of specific measures. I am also glad that it refers to the need to review this fiscal set-up, which tempts companies to relocate to areas where there is a more favourable tax system. And finally, I am happy that employment should be a fundamental principle, a principle which underpins all policies, especially with regard to public aid. However, to those on the other side of the House, I would say that those people who tried to throw the textile machines into the rivers of Manchester, in order to save jobs, were wrong because we live in an era which is infinitely better than the one which they wanted to preserve."@en1
