"We regret the non-adoption of our proposal to reject this Directive aimed at full liberalisation of postal services, thereby creating a ‘market’ at EU level.
In this way the majority in the EP – representing the same political forces that are at the centre of right-wing politics in each country – is seeking to take one more step along the path of dismantling this essential public service.
This is an attack by the big multinationals on the public postal service, the public ownership of this service and the public administration that has to provide it, as well as on its democratic nature, attempting to wrest from the power of each people, i.e. from their national sovereignty, the control and power of decision on these crucial issues, which go on to be decided at supranational level by the EU institutions, following interests alien to the people and to Portugal.
Also significant is the rejection of our amendment which aimed to safeguard the requirement for all ‘operators’ to comply fully with labour legislation, namely any legal or contractual provision concerning employment conditions, including health and safety at work, which Member States apply in accordance with national law, as well as social security legislation and collective agreements concluded."@en1
