". It is worth emphasising that this resolution, once again signed both by the right and by social democrats, gets off to a good start by remarking on the ongoing economic stagnation and the high levels of unemployment in the EU. Instead, however, of moving on to a much-needed change to the neoliberal capitalist policies that are the cause of the current economic and social crisis, it confirms them, and what else could be expected from the political forces that are responsible for this situation? The resolution advocates maintaining the Stability Pact, implementing the ‘Lisbon Strategy’, opening up markets (postal services, passenger transport, the single European sky), making labour markets more flexible, although it does express some ‘concerns’ about the social consequences of these actions. The resolution also confirms a policy that criminalizes and penalises immigration, blackmails the enlargement countries to the extent that, unless they adopt Community legislation their funds will be cut, confirms its support for the current situation in Iraq, which is under military occupation, and for the militarisation of the EU without involving NATO. The resolution also confirms the ambition to strike a new balance in relations with the US, responding to the ‘real common interests and capabilities of the partners’, which we should interpret as meaning the major economic and financial groups. These political priorities are worlds apart from the real and urgent needs of the workers and of our communities. Hence our vote against the resolution."@en1
