"If anyone had any doubts about the real objective of this proposal, you would only have to quote the words in the text adopted today with regard to ensuring ‘the dismantling of remaining barriers to the smooth functioning of the internal market’. Furthermore, Article 2 clarifies that ‘the general objective … is to improve the conditions for the functioning of the internal market’. Once again it must at the very least be paradigmatic that, following the failure of the so-called ‘European economic recovery plan’ and the proclaimed ‘European solidarity’, the first and, up to now, only proposal to create a Community support programme is aimed at the financial services! It almost seems like we are not facing one of the biggest crises in capitalism, with worsening unemployment, destruction of productive capacity, increasing inequalities and growing difficulties for workers and the general population. The proposals that we tabled – such as increasing the Community budget, creating Community support programmes for the manufacturing sector and protecting jobs with rights and public services – were rejected. Yet when it comes to supporting the financial market and the ‘smooth functioning of the internal market’, there is no lack of Community funding. This is unacceptable. That is why we voted against."@en1
