"This scoreboard is part of the strategy of deepening the EU’s internal market through the increased liberalisation and privatisation of Europe’s economies. This is an instrument that assesses the transposition of the EU’s internal market directives on the basis of purely quantitative criteria, without taking into account the disparities between the EU’s economies or the negative effects being felt in countries like Portugal, which result from the deepening of the internal market along the same lines as it has been following thus far. These consequences are resulting in difficulties for many companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, in the loss of jobs, and in the scaling back of workers’ rights. In the face of these problems, instead of rethinking current policy, they insist on speeding up the policies of liberalisation, privatisation and deregulation that are in place, proposing more penalties and the quicker application thereof to ‘recalcitrant’ Member States. They persist with the tired rhetoric that deepening the internal market will be the miracle cure for the economic and social crisis being experienced in the EU. Deepening the internal market, implementing monetary and budgetary policy based on ‘austerity’, and failing to invest in increased national production and in higher real wages and pensions are the causes of the crisis, not the solution."@en1
