". The Brussels Summit did not say a single word in even mild condemnation of this crime against the Iraqi people. It only turned its attention to the imperialist war in order to express its fear that it might cause big business's profits to fall and to propose preventive measures to escalate its anti-grass roots attack. In the name of the misleadingly titled, anti-grass roots ‘Lisbon objectives’, it decided to promote measures and policies, in the name of competitiveness and entrepreneurship, which undermine employment, social, insurance and pension rights. Guidelines were issued for extending and broadening part-time and temporary employment, agency systems and flexible employment relations, basically abolishing collective agreements, cutting social spending back even further, handing the wealth of the people over to private capital, ‘liberalising’ public-sector and public utility services and encouraging health and health care to be turned into commodities and insurance systems to be privatised. They are, of course, deluding themselves if they think that the workers will be distracted by false promises and PR tricks. It is they who feel the pinch of recession, constantly eroded incomes and falling living standards. They are organising and stepping up their fight against the choices being made by big business and the European Union. Increasingly radical grass-roots rallies are springing up and the wave of opposition to the cruelties of capitalism is swelling in every Member State of the European Union."@en1
