". This resolution is a sort of liberal social charter maintaining a basic illusion as to the extent to which liberalisation and regulation can be combined. In actual fact, the hardline neoliberal programme is being affirmed once again in two major areas. The first area of focus is the continued privatisation, deemed to be “essential” starting with postal services, savings banks and financial services in general, as well as the railways. The second is the continued reform of the labour market, and there are even plans to extend this further. Such guidelines represent a step backwards for civilisation, seeking nothing more and nothing less than to convert the provision of all social needs into saleable commodities, subject to the rationale of profitability. This is, apparently, a “careful liberalisation process”. That is something that the victims of the Paddington rail disaster will appreciate. Reform of the labour market tends to always go the same way, elevating flexibility and social insecurity to consider them the economic ideal. This report, in thrall to liberal orthodoxy, illustrates the cynicism of property owners and the miserable submission of reform policies to their lead. I had no hesitation in voting against this resolution."@en1
