"Mr President, the measures being proposed in the report being debated appear to want to address female unemployment and equality problems, but really result in cutbacks to and the abolition of any positive arrangements and rights achieved by women through the hard struggle of the working-class, grass-roots and women's movement. They relate to the application of the Lisbon Strategy. They promote part-time employment, employment with flexible hours, shift work and fixed term contracts in the home care, social, health and other sectors, thereby resulting in more intensive exploitation of women, less secure employment and, consequently, increased levels of unemployment and uncertainty. Commissioner, it is working women, it is working-class women who are being crushed by the anti-grass roots policy, because wealthy women have no such problems. The report also highlights the standard model and philosophy of the family as a production unit which solves the needs of its members. In our opinion, it is very, very dangerous. The responsibilities of the man are being increased in order to convince working-class families that responsibility for the reproduction of their members lies with them. Thus, you are putting the entire burden on the family, the problem of children and of health and of education and, at the same time, you are putting these sectors in the hands of crude traders, of dealers who buy and sell, and leading the working classes into an impasse. We consider that the measures lead away from the demand for women to be integrated into the social opus alongside a state policy which will help women and mothers and protect children and the elderly. These are proposals which ultimately aim to downgrade and further privatise and commercialise existing social services, with the consent of women and working class families."@en1
