".
Mr President, in his first statement in July, Mr Barroso said that we have to choose one priority, and that priority must be employment. This does not seem to have transmitted itself to this particular committee, which recommends upgrading EU-India relations by outsourcing and insourcing. I am sorry the rapporteur did not have the time to tell us how much insourcing there has been, but there has been a great deal of outsourcing. In Britain alone, most of the banks, the insurance companies and even the National Health Service have outsourced.
My point concerns 3SE, which was set up by the EU and the Indian Government. On its website it goes a little further. According to the website, the value of outsourcing is in increased working days. It invites employers to harness the time difference of three-and-a-half to five-and-a-half hours to pack in
hours. So there are no Commission hang-ups then about the working-time directive, as long it is the poor exploited workers of India who are involved! The rapporteur tells us that we must help Delhi fight against poverty, but would he just tell his own organisation what it is doing to help?
Mr Barroso, as I said at the outset, says that he wants to boost employment in the EU. This report does just the opposite."@en1
