".
Once again the majority in Parliament is encouraging the total liberalisation of a public service, in this case postal services, thereby endangering the rights and interests of the people and of the workers in that sector.
We much regret the non-adoption of our proposal to reject this Commission initiative, which is intended to complete the liberalisation of postal services throughout the EU and to promote competition in this supranational internal market.
We also regret the rejection of the amendments in which we argued that the Member States should retain the exclusive rights in a reserved area, and safeguard the social and employment rights of the sector, including adherence to terms and conditions of employment and the social security systems established by law or collective agreement.
Although certain aspects have been improved in relation to the Commission’s original proposal, the report confirms the total liberalisation of the postal service, only deferring it until 31 December 2010, thus achieving the objective originally laid down by the first directive of 1997, namely the dismantling of a profitable public sector – the postal sector – and its subsequent hand-over to private interests.
This, in stark relief, is EU policy, to which the workers and the people of the various EU Member States must respond appropriately."@en1
