lpv:translated text	". In 2000, the European Summit in Lisbon spoke out in favour of a tough liberalisation policy and comprehensive privatisation of public services. The justification for this, which turned out to be illusory, was that this would prompt even more extensive economic growth, by means of which Europe could beat the US and Japan. According to this line of thinking, the expected drawbacks concerning labour and the environment are automatically offset by an increase in profits and employment. The proposal that is being voted on today is a commendable effort on the part of Mr Karas to give a wrong policy choice a friendly twist. He has managed this to some extent in the area of the environment, at least as far as the good intentions are concerned. Whether a callous liberal policy really leaves room for a good environment is, in fact, dubious, but I back the attempt to give more attention to environmental policy than the Commission proposes. In the area of social policy, the main thing about the proposal is that it contains an attempt to make the trade union movement partly responsible for the neoliberal economic policy. The rapporteur is trying to reconcile the irreconcilable in a somewhat craftier manner. It is not so much his friendly intentions as the underlying policy that is being condoned in this way. This has prompted me and my group to vote against this proposal."@en1
