lpv:translated text	"Entrepreneurship is being promoted as the new ideal of the EU, which will resolve the problems of economic stagnation, unemployment and so on. Thus, an effort is being made, among other things, to shift the responsibility for growth from the social to the personal level. Unemployment, for example, is being interpreted as a lack of entrepreneurship on the part of the unemployed rather than as a constituent element of capitalism. Both the Commission text and the report by parliamentary Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy are hymns to this new ideal. The Commission proposes three pillars for action: bringing down the barriers to business development, balancing risks and rewards and promoting a society that values entrepreneurship. In other words, it is proposing full unaccountability for companies, cheap money and guarantees that investments will bring in excessive profits and a propaganda campaign at all levels (education, mass media and so on) in order to persuade even the inexperienced that they must worship entrepreneurship or, at the very least, entrepreneurs. The report follows in the same direction. Of course we are not surprised that the capitalist EU deifies entrepreneurship. However, our ideals and our principles do not allow us to accept such an approach. We distinguish between personal action and collective action and between the profit-making capitalist enterprise and one that operates for the benefit of society as a whole. That is why the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the reports."@en1
