". The reason why we are not opposed to this draft text is so that workers who so desire can leave employment before retirement age. Several aspects of the draft text are, nonetheless, unacceptable. It is unacceptable, first and foremost, that job cuts are not being made on a voluntary basis and that all those who so desire cannot benefit from being released from their duties. What is equally unacceptable is that 600 officials are being encouraged to retire, whilst only 273 are being taken on. This means there will be additional work for those who remain, whereas the report acknowledges that 1 254 positions need to be filled. And, if the institutions are planning to compensate for the lack of employees by increasing job insecurity and sub-contracting – which is often one and the same thing – this is no better. All this is unacceptable in a context of unemployment and job insecurity. Therefore, whilst we are not opposed to the draft text, we did not wish to give it our backing and we abstained from the vote."@en1
