"Madam President, globalisation is irreversible. Fortunately, however, it also represents a great opportunity for people from all continents, countries and regions. One need only look at the booming Chinese economy to see proof of this. In the same way that socialism was needed to take the edge off 19th century capitalism, however, the globalisation of today needs a social dimension, without which it will be nothing but a wasted opportunity for humanity. At a time when the EU must speak out with one voice in favour of globalisation with a human face, it is painfully obvious that the EU itself lacks integration, a common foreign policy, a strong budget and a services directive capable of boosting the economies of the new Member States. Workers have no freedom of movement within the EU, unlike capital, and the common agricultural policy is unjust. All the more praise and recognition is therefore due to the rapporteur, who has temporarily overlooked the unjust division into old Member States and new Member States, instead advocating a fair division of goods on a global scale. The European social model, as set out in the Lisbon Strategy, should become our calling card and our leading export. The accumulation of goods has now reached such levels that the most important task facing the world is the decision to divide these goods up fairly, while ensuring that everyone can live and work in dignity. The outsourcing of human rights and workers’ rights must follow on the heels of the outsourcing of capital. We should set up institutions that support the work of the WTO and that endeavour to bring a social dimension to globalisation, such as the Council for Human Development mentioned in the report."@en1
