"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, today and tomorrow, all eyes of the whole trade union world will be on this House, as will those of everyone who works hard for a more social Europe. This spring is, indeed, set to become an important time, with, this month, the port directive up for discussion, while next month, it is the turn of the Bolkestein directive. As responsible politicians, we are given the opportunity to put this House on the map once again and to make clear our refusal to go along with the
of ever more competition, ever more privatisation and ever more liberalisation.
By rejecting this directive, we bring home the fact that we want a different Europe, where it is not only the economy that counts, but also the social and ecological dimensions. Consideration should therefore be given to the people who work in the ports, the dockworkers, who are at risk of losing their jobs, whilst freight should be handled safely and efficiently. Due account should also be given to the pilots who guide the ships safely into the ports and ensure that minor or major environmental disasters are prevented. The Greens will therefore reject this directive because we believe that a different Europe is really possible."@en1
