"Mr Toussas, when airports in Europe were liberalised there were very similar arguments to those now being put forward in relation to ports. Workers were concerned that it would lead to job losses, a decline in social conditions and lack of safety. None of that has happened.
What has happened? The opposite: unprecedented dynamism in European airports.
Mr Toussas, what I want is what is best for economic growth and for the jobs and living conditions of workers.
I have taken account of the concerns of the unions and I have modified some of the initial proposals – as I pointed out a moment ago – and I have introduced generalised authorisations, which means that there is public responsibility for guaranteeing that all aspects relating to safety are respected and that standards are respected. It is also a guarantee that employment legislation is respected. I therefore believe that these concerns are unfounded. I would emphasise that this proposal represents an opening up, but, above all, what it must mean is more activity for the regions you have referred to."@en1
