". Thirty years of difficult negotiations, exemptions and exceptions, a legal basis that only serves to give illegitimate powers to the Commission in Brussels, an attempt to transform a directive into a regulation using an implementation group. Undeniably, the Statute for a European Company is a real labyrinth and economic and political actors are hardly enthusiastic about it, to put it mildly. In truth, the only benefit of the European Company is that it is being imposed as if it were a true component of supranational law – it certainly is similar to the single currency, being an ideological construction that seeks to forcibly replace national structures and impose an uncontrollable level of Community decision-making. Some claim to be concerned about workers’ rights. The Directive, however, clearly bypasses these rights in favour of the unquestionable right of the management board to create a European Company. The Directive even allows a reduction in the right of workers to participation. So this is simply another stage in the unrelenting globalisation process, which begins with everything at European-level being made uniform. In this scenario, it would be an obvious advantage for all the ultra-liberals to have a workforce, which is also globalised and has the least amount of rights possible. This is bordering on a perverse interpretation of global worker unification, as the so-called anti-globalisation left-wing extremists are now calling for, with the help of many slogans. The greatest perversion of all undeniably resides in the objective alliance between capitalist internationalism and subversive or Marxist internationalism, which aims to impose levels of decision-making which override nations, their democratically appointed governments and their democratically elected parliaments. And yet the nation is the only level at which social and political legislation for workers, freedoms and prosperity for all exists and can be defended best."@en1
