"Madam President, I should like to begin by commending the work of our colleague, Mr Andersson. What exactly does the European Union want, though? A single market abandoned to unbridled competition that quashes collective rights as a whole, or a regulated single market that enables the citizens to carry out decent work throughout Europe? The messages from the European Court of Justice, often those from the Commission, and at times those from the Council Presidency, are neither clear nor always consistent. A society is only worth, and only survives by, the contract with which it provides itself. Deregulation, the ‘every man for himself’ approach, leads to even more deregulation and, ultimately, to the explosion of the system. This is not what we want. Yes, indeed, we want an internal market, but a market that serves to improve the living and working conditions of our fellow citizens. The Treaty of Lisbon sets out a number of principles, including the right to negotiate collective agreements. Let us ensure that this principle is respected by the European Union and by all the Member States."@en1
