"Mr President, the European institutions are making the attitude of the national governments their own and thus making it the norm. They are systematically abandoning and privatising public services in favour of private interests. This policy is reactionary and unacceptable, first from the point of view of users, as proper public services are entirely incompatible with the quest for financial gain, as shown by the tragic rail accidents in Great Britain and the tragic plane crash in Switzerland. The privatisation policy also serves as a pretext for attacking workers’ rights. In France, the management of and are simultaneously preparing to float their capital on the stock market, and reviewing their pension schemes by increasing contributions and the period over which they are paid while reducing the amount paid to pensioners. I must therefore vigorously protest against both the attack on public services and the threat to workers in this field. I pledge my solidarity with the EDF/GDF and SNCF workers who will be protesting in Paris on 3 October, and I encourage anyone who wants to join them to do so in order to oppose measures taken against workers."@en1
