Mr Lamassoure’s report to Parliament is extremely low on social content and, far from correcting this omission, the votes cast this morning have basically exacerbated it.
The report says nothing about a guaranteed high level of social protection for one and all, nothing about the implementation of a coordinated approach to pay rises, nothing about quantified, verifiable objectives in the fight against poverty and exclusion.
The majority vote therefore takes no account whatsoever of the demand – the broad-based and rightly exacting demand – of our citizens for the social situation to be improved and for real economic and social government to be created in the Union.
The European Parliament barely even defends what is an unsatisfactory social status quo and has confined itself to perpetuating the image of a bureaucratic Europe in the pocket of major financial interests. In doing so, it is sending out a revolting signal to the Convention on the Future of Europe. My colleagues and I refuse to have anything to do with this despicable exercise."@en1
