"Mr President, all we have to do is look at the economic policy recommendations disseminated by the European Commission to understand the purpose and deeper goals of the European Semester. In relation to Portugal, for example, the Commission has just advocated wage cuts, plain and simple; in a country that already has some of the lowest wages in Europe; in a country in which millions of workers have become impoverished despite having a job and many others are becoming impoverished every day; in a country in which many have been dragged into the most extreme poverty. It also advocated cutting unemployment benefit, in a country where unemployment has hit historic levels because of the policies imposed by the European Union and the IMF; in a country where long-term unemployment has increased. Those were the Commission’s recommendations. That is the purpose of this coordination: coordinating the assault on social rights and coordinating the levelling down of Europe’s living and working conditions. That is why they wanted the European Semester."@en1
