"Yet again we have an ideologically driven proposal, this time on postal services. There has been no assessment of the social impact it will have, and no serious consultation with post office management, with employees or with consumers.
There is no demand, no logic and no justification for the liberalisation of postal services. People do not want to be presented with an array of competing post offices marketing their products. They do not want to see their local post offices closed because the market offers insufficient profit for the private postal companies which will swamp the market, driving public operators like
to the wall.
People want a reliable postal service which will deliver their mail with the minimum of fuss and which will keep local post offices at the centre of the communities they serve.
How can people take seriously the idea the EU is promoting a social Europe when this proposal drives yet another nail in its coffin?
It is time to call a halt to the ideologically driven forced march towards liberalisation and privatisation.
People in Ireland have the opportunity to stop this by voting no to the Lisbon Treaty."@en1
