lpv:translated text	". The trade agreements advocating deregulation and the liberalisation of international trade mean that an increasing number of areas of public services are being handed over to the market, to competition, in other words, to satisfy the appetites of private interests. This is a disastrous development for the vast majority of society. It is a real attack on the working classes. It should be emphasised, however, that this is taking place with the agreement of the governments, and even at their instigation, even when they pretend to stand apart from the WTO or other similar bodies. The problem is not only the preservation of cultural diversity, even though it can legitimately be stated that culture should not be a commodity. How can we accept, however, that health care and education, which are essential social areas, should be placed in the hands of stupid market and competition laws? How can we accept this for water, electricity, postal or rail services and other socially important sectors? We want to speak out against this entire development and we oppose any opening up of public services to competition and the quest for profit. We oppose any attack on employees in these sectors and any job losses."@en1
