This report adopts the anti-grass roots policies of the ΕU, which subvert the rights of the workers for the benefit of the monopolies.
It fully supports the application of the Stability Pact, speedier structural reform of the job market, reduced wages, an increase in the retirement age, full liberalisation of services of public interest, especially postal services, telecommunications, energy, transport and radio and television broadcasting and calls for lower taxes on businessmen. It openly maintains that the slump on the job market and the failure to fully apply flexible forms of work are one of the main causes of unemployment.
For the sake of balancing the budget, which is the alibi used for constant cuts in social spending and the privatisation of public utilities, big business is being empowered and called on to complete the dismantling of insurance and pension systems.
The clouds of war are gathering, imperialist infighting is getting worse and an end to the recession is nowhere in sight (the Commission is forecasting practically zero growth of -0.1% to 0.5% for 2003), and yet the main concern is to strengthen the competitiveness and profitability of the European monopolies.
We are opposed to these anti-grass roots policies and we stand by the workers in their fight to reverse them."@en1
