lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, globalisation is here to stay and it is here to bring benefits. It is the role of legislators not to resist globalisation but to make sure its benefits reach as widely and deeply as possible. In this respect we should acknowledge and welcome the proactive role of the Commission in supporting the UN conclusions. I share with Mr Kułakowski the regret that the Presidency of the Council does not, apparently, regard this debate today as important enough to command the presence of a minister. The social dimension of globalisation is highly important, because globalisation brings with it change and all change is a challenge. Our role is surely to help our society equip itself and adapt to meet that challenge much more strongly. As Mr Crowley said so eloquently this evening, this is all about people. The original Brejc report addressed the subject sensitively and sensibly. Sadly, as so often in the Employment and Social Affairs Committee, it now embodies amendments that are less sensitive and certainly less sensible. That is why we have to trouble the House to vote tomorrow to get closer to the original report and delete most of those amendments, except of course my own! We cannot support the sudden suggestion to make CSR – corporate social responsibility – compulsory. We cannot support calls for exporting the EU social model as a condition of opening up world trade. We cannot support calls for increasing the EU budget. The PPE-DE Group has therefore put forward a number of amendments to remove these and other muddled messages. I very much hope that the House will support those revisions. If it does not, the UK Conservative delegation would agree with Mr Hökmark, as well as many other colleagues, and reluctantly vote to reject this report as it stands. We want to get back to a report about the social dimension, not just the Socialist dimension."@en1
