lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Portuguese newspapers have recently reported appalling cases of mistreatment, abuse and even slavery, to which Portuguese workers have been subjected in various EU countries, such as France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The Portuguese newspaper this morning ran a story entitled ‘More Portuguese citizens ill-treated in the Netherlands’, which stated that the Dutch authorities had been informed of the situation. According to the story, however, the reports from that country are marked by unprecedented abuse perpetrated against Portuguese workers. There are accounts of mistreatment of workers in some companies in the Netherlands, or at the hands of gangmasters; workers are denied the most basic of rights, such as sufficient food to eat and accommodation fit for human habitation; real organised networks are said to be operating in various countries to recruit workers, which is absolutely scandalous. Immediate action must be taken, Mr President, to put an end to this state of affairs. I request, Mr President, that the Commission and the Council be notified and that immediate action be taken to eradicate the problem of these appalling attacks on workers’ rights and on human rights in general."@en1
