lpv:translated text	". We voted against the Herzog report in the final vote, because we considered it fell short of what was required, having been watered down by proposals from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party, within the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. The odd improvement was made to the report in plenary, but the amendments that had been tabled did not change it significantly. The final result illustrates the aggressiveness of the neo-liberal and conservative offensive currently sweeping through the EU, in the wake of rushed-through privatisations enshrined in the ‘Lisbon Strategy’ and attempts to enshrine these in the Constitution last December. The report is fundamentally biased against the public sector and against the role of the State in the economy, as it is based on the false premise that it is ownership that determines good management. The clear aim is to feed the most lucrative sectors and public services to the greed of the major economic and financial groups. The report endorses and encourages the process of liberalisation/privatisation in various key sectors and abjectly glosses over the economic and social consequences, from quality and access to public services, to job losses in the targeted sectors. We all know that the expression ‘services of general interest’ was not chosen by accident. Its clear aim is to put an end to the concept of public service and, in so doing, to alleviate the State’s burden of responsibility."@en1
