"Mr President, Mr Barroso, you said in your introduction that Europe and the world have suffered a crisis of values. Why do you not use plain language? What we have suffered is, of course, a crisis for radical market thinking, for which you and your group are among the primary advocates. I promised my voters that I would not vote for you – as many other Social Democrats have done – if you do not guarantee that the Posting of Workers Directive will be amended to strengthen the rights of workers. Now I hear you trying to sound as if you have complied with this request. However, you say that this request will not be complied with by amending the directive, but by means of a new regulation, which we know to be completely inadequate. At the same time, I hear you painting an erroneous picture of the consequences of these amendments to the Posting of Workers Directive. You have been asked about this before and you have been evasive every time. I will ask you again: will you take action to amend the Posting of Workers Directive, so that European workers receive equal pay for equal work throughout the EU instead of experiencing the wage dumping that we are currently suffering throughout Europe?"@en1
