"Mr President, with all the commotion outside, the port directive is perhaps more controversial in the second reading than it was during the first debate. We have not finished yet if we are really voting out pilotage services tomorrow. Mediation with the Council is therefore on the horizon. As a Liberal I am far from happy with the scope. I had wanted more leeway, especially on the point of self-handling. I have a couple of amendments that make it possible for self-handlers to unload cargo both on the ship and on the quay. I think that the unions’ fear about social dumping is nonsense. Sufficient guarantees can be built in. In particular, I find it regrettable that the people at the top are communicating so badly with the rank and file. There is no threat, there are just opportunities. Opportunities to show that they have the most experience, that they can work smoothly and efficiently and that they can therefore offer a keen price. Ultimately, what we are talking about is better quality and more services, but a monopoly must not be allowed to develop. Closing ranks and holding back modernisation will ultimately be at the expense of the working conditions of the dock workers themselves."@en1
