"Mr President, Mr Rehn, Commissioner, the fact that you are taking part with us in this debate on employment rights in a Europe of open borders implies, I imagine, that you have something to say on the subject in addition to your role of listening to the speeches. I must tell you, Commissioner, that you and I are very different, because whereas I am a lay person, to hear you speak, I sometimes get the impression that you belong to some sect or church that preaches austerity as its dogma. As a lay person, I rely on evidence. When I look at the current situation in Spain – a country that has conscientiously followed the Stability and Growth Pact and implemented all the Commission’s prescriptions, even when President Zapatero was in power – six million people are unemployed in the country today. Then I ask you, Commissioner: are the employment rights that we are talking about only valid during untroubled times, and in times of crisis must the Troika go to Greece to impose an austerity plan that totally ignores the strength of our social model and the important role of industrial relations in helping us come through the economic crisis?"@en1
