lpv:translated text	". The services sector is particularly important to big business in the ΕU, in that industrial activities are increasingly moving to other areas of the world. Mrs Kratsa's report moves along lines required by the imposition of the terms of big business on this sector and its content reveals the manner in which the neo-liberal policy of the EU deals with the problems. Interest focuses on increasing competitiveness, on harmonising the services sector with competition policy and on the cross-border provision of services, while entrepreneurship is deified as the solution to all the problems of unemployment and underemployment. The so-called 'open coordination method' for national policies is also promoted, which is nothing more than a mechanism for imposing EU policy without the apparent involvement of its institutions. In addition, the report praises the new forms of work, part-time and temporary employment, but talks hypocritically about enhancing their quality. It adopts the raising of the retirement age and calls for note to be taken of the 'beneficial' consequences of privatising services of general interest. Needless to say, the standard formulae about improving the positions of women and the disabled and using new technologies have not been left out. For these reasons, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the report."@en1
