"The Greek Communist Party voted against the report and the Commission’s report, which postpones application of the directive on minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from electromagnetic fields for another two years, until 30 April 2014. The capitalists regard even these inadequate measures to protect workers from exposure to electromagnetic fields as an obstacle to the unaccountable exploitation of the workforce. That is why the EU and the European Parliament hastened to satisfy their demand that the application of measures to protect the health of workers should be postponed indefinitely. This particular instance again proves the real purpose of the EU, as an imperialist union of the monopolies, in safeguarding their profitability and protecting their power. For the EU, the political spokesmen of capital in the European Parliament and the bourgeois governments of the Member States, protection for the health and life of workers represents a cost to capital and has no value whatsoever compared with the profits and the ‘competitiveness’ of companies, which are built on the blood and lives of the working class. The reversal of capitalist barbarity and the demolition of the euro-unifying construct and the power of the monopolies by the working class and its allies is a major duty in terms of their life and their future."@en1
