lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the 45-year history of the European Parliament confirms the Communist Party of Greece's assertion that it was created in order to serve the interests of big business, not of the people, as many would have us believe. The workers of the European Union have seen their rights eroded or even abolished, especially over the last ten years. This applies to industrial relations, insurance rights, democratic liberties and wages. Unemployment, poverty and suppression are spreading. Small and medium-sized enterprises in town and country are being wiped out. Measures are being taken which bolster the increasingly autocratic powers of major economic interests. A Union is being constructed which, instead of opposing the barbarity of the United States, goes along or competes with it on a dangerous and absurd path, which may lead to the destruction of our very planet. The people of the candidate countries therefore have nothing positive to expect as regards their vital interests. Pre-accession relations have given them a bitter foretaste of what happens when companies are restructured, nationalised industries are snapped up by foreign capital, their important social rights are abolished and support is given to their local exploiters, often the Mafia, who are proving to be privileged partners of the European Union. That is why the Communist Party of Greece, in a spirit of solidarity with the people of the candidate countries, urges them to oppose this process. As far as Palestine is concerned, I should like to call on the European Union, here and now, to cut all funding to the regime of criminals in power in Israel and any supply lines to that regime, in order to put an end to the crime being perpetrated against the Palestinian people."@en1
