lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to raise a point in connection with the application of social security schemes which has upset workers in my country and in every other country, and that is the future of social security. Big business and the European Union, in their full frontal attack on everything the working classes have struggled and fought for, have now set their sights on social security. They are using groundless arguments, such as longer life expectancy and the allegedly excessive cost of labour, in order to introduce measures such as increasing the retirement age, reducing employers' contributions and replacing insurance funds by private, profit-making companies. This, together with the continuing privatisation of the health system, means yet another burden on the workers, a lower standard of living and huge profits for the monopolies. The working classes in Greece have already mobilised in the face of this attack. They are ousting the trade union leaders who have been bought off and who are being dragged into so-called social dialogue with so-called social partners, and they are organising their resistance and counter-attack. Similar action is being taken in other countries. The Communist Party of Greece hereby declares from this tribune that it will do everything it can to support this movement."@en1
