".
Following the conclusions of the Lisbon Summit, we have always stressed the need for a balance between quality and quantity. We have therefore made some real progress, and we must combat the scourge of unemployment. However, we need to be on our guard in relation to social plans, company restructuring, relocations and mass redundancies. We cannot be content with the precarious situation being experienced by an increasing number of our fellow citizens. Parliament has a real duty to guard against these things.
Mr Mann has given the opposite message, which is unacceptable, by presenting us with an entirely neo-liberal profession of faith. We now need a real battle against poverty and in favour of employment. We do not accept casual, unqualified jobs, and we do not accept employees being placed in a precarious situation. On the contrary, we need to place the emphasis on training and qualifications, and support the most vulnerable. We need to be very vigilant on the employment of women, and we need to enable young people to enter the employment market with hope.
We do not want the markets in the service trade (GATS) to be deregulated and opened up unchecked. We will not sacrifice all our social heritage which has been acquired at such a high price."@en1
