"Mr President, I too was dissatisfied with the Commission’s reply. The Commission maintains that it has fulfilled its legal obligations and acted in accordance with the principles of sound financial management, requiring high-quality courses at a reasonable price.
I personally wonder about the procedure used to calculate the cost of externalising or privatising this service, compared with the cost of the previous contracts. I would also point out that we miss no opportunity in this House to denounce the externalisation or privatisation of services that is undertaken by national or international companies in our Member States. Our institutions too engage in privatisation and externalisation, but without putting in place the social plans such as we – at least in my own country – impose upon our companies following negotiation with the unions.
I therefore believe that it is necessary to devise a social plan for the interested parties in order to put an end to the veritable impoverishment to which the families concerned have been exposed. My fellow MEPs have talked at length about this.
For my part, I have a very specific question. How has the restricted invitation to tender been organised for the purpose of selecting the firms invited to replace the former teachers no later than February 2005? Is it true that the bidders in response to this invitation to tender of 30 June include the British Council
where one of the posts of responsibility is at present occupied by the former Commissioner responsible for administration who arranged for these sudden redundancies?
In my capacity as Quaestor responsible for language courses in Parliament, I should also like to add that, there too, we are confronted with a similar problem. I hope that we shall resolve it in a much more socially-responsible manner, respecting the elementary rules of employment law as applied in all our Member States."@en1
