"I voted in favour of the report on the external dimension of social policy, promoting labour and social standards and European corporate social responsibility. Our objective is to promote labour and social standards and European corporate social responsibility outside the EU. This is a legitimate objective; however, I have certain reservations as to whether we shall be able to achieve this objective. The common social standards that we cite are at risk and the intention to promote different social and labour standards within the EU itself is now becoming clear. The standards that apply in my country, in Greece, where unemployment rates among 25-year-olds are 36.1% and in Spain, where this rate is 43%, are very different from the standards that apply in the strong European economies. This report reminds us that, if the EU wishes to become a leader in the world in terms of social policy, it needs to safeguard cohesion between the social policies applied in its Member States."@en1
