"Mr President, the report refers to the impressive rise of China, India and Brazil. For ‘impressive’ I would substitute the word ‘threatening’ – threatening to the manufacturing sectors of Europe and particularly to that in my own country, the United Kingdom.
The report expresses surprise that their growth has failed to reduce their poverty, but of course it is on their poverty and sometimes slave labour conditions that their growth has been based. The Commission concedes that the emergent economies should be eliminated from development assistance, but only in the long term. In the meantime, they are destroying our manufacturing while we are relieving them of the burden of looking after their own poor.
Globalisation is applauded in the report on the doubtful ground that it reduces inequalities between countries, which is another way of saying that the emergent countries are becoming richer at the expense of some of our workers. However, inequalities within countries are becoming greater as workers in Member States are thrown on the unemployment scrapheap."@en1
