"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, another five workers lost their lives as the result of an explosion on the tanker which they were repairing in Salamina. This is the umpteenth time that workers in my country have paid with their blood for the lack of rudimentary safety measures as the result of the unaccountability of shipowners and the privatisation of control services, which issue certificates based on the shipowners' interests rather than on respect for the workers' lives. The Greek government is also to blame for failing to take any action whatsoever, despite the large number of accidents. I should like to use this tribune to express our condolences to the victims' families and to roundly condemn the unaccountability of their employers and the policy of the Greek government. Be it in Toulouse or Salamina, the working classes are being sacrificed for the sake of a competitive economy and more and more profit. ***"@en1
