lpv:translated text	". The explanatory statement for this report welcomes the drop in unemployment at European level. However, there is no reason to welcome the figure of 13 million unemployed that the text gives, which is certainly underestimated and which, moreover, fails to take into account those who have to settle for precarious and badly paid employment. Moreover, for several months, the number of unemployed has again been rising in all the countries of the Union. How could it be otherwise, when the most powerful industrial groups on the continent are announcing considerable reductions in their workforce and closing their factories one after another? In these circumstances, talking about employment strategy, to quote the title of the report, might appear quite unsavoury to the millions of employees who are being thrown into poverty purely so that the companies making them redundant can give their shareholders higher dividends by paying fewer salaries. We voted against this text because its philosophy is that it is the sovereign right of employers to decide whether or not to keep jobs, while it is clear that, without corrective measures forcing companies to use their current or past profits to maintain jobs and salaries, the number of unemployed will continue to rise and poverty will continue to increase."@en1
