"Mr President, I shall not vote against the report, for the sole reason that some trade unions are hoping that it will be adopted, whatever my views may be on their policy. Even so, however, I shall not give my approval of the report. In fact, in order to counteract a limited increase in the rights of European works councils, the report calls upon us to approve competition rules and the confidentiality of information. The report also stresses that the role awaiting the councils is that of reducing the risk of conflict which may, the report claims, prove to be a factor in a company’s success, or rather, in an employer’s success. In France, it is very clear that the final decision on all issues that affect workers’ lives is made by employers. Works councils have been rendered powerless, such as when Moulinex, Aventis, Danone and many other companies made unacceptable redundancies, or they are tricked into approving the employer’s decisions, or even into nominating the victims of redundancies, as was the case at AOM-Air Liberté. Therefore, the only right which would, in truth, be a right for workers would be the right to employment, or a ban on redundancies, in other words, at least in companies that are making profits."@en1
