"Madam President, I would like to draw both your and Parliament’s attention to two very important decisions that have recently been taken by two European companies, which have stirred up great feeling amongst the working population. As you know, Danone recently decided to close down several European factories, getting rid of thousands of workers, despite this very company telling us not long ago that its previous year’s profits had been fairly significant. In addition, Marks [amp] Spencer recently decided to close down all its European outlets outside Great Britain. This seems to be an illegal decision, in that the unions and the Works Councils were not notified and the workers found out what would their fate would be from the radio. I would like to know, therefore, if it would be possible for you, Madam President, and if it would be possible for Parliament, to make a statement on this unacceptable action, perhaps at the next part-session, which, on the one hand, is discrediting the social Europe that several of you want to see, and, on the other hand, constitutes a denial of justice and an attack on the dignity of the working population."@en1
