"Mr President, Minister, I listened carefully to the reply that you gave and I too am pleased at the decision taken yesterday by the Council of Ministers for Social Affairs. I also noted that you attributed the responsibility of many of our current problems to the European Commission, because, as you said, the Commission has not submitted for your consideration any measures to deal with the very serious situation which we are in.
I would like you to clarify two points – the first is on effective sanctions, in the event that the rules are flouted, as happened with yesterday’s agreement. I would like you to provide clarification on this point. I would also like you to explain the situation of non-British employees working in establishments in the rest of Europe between 2004 and 2009. Mr President, my last question is what can I, as an MEP, say to the employees who are shown the door by their employers, who are making a profit, when they know that the only reason why they are being laid off is to push up the profits. Can I be satisfied by telling them that the Council cannot do anything because the Commission has not made a proposal? I know that this is not what you believe, as a man and as a member of parliament, and I would like to have a slightly more firm commitment from yourself on this issue."@en1
