3rd April 2006 : Speech in the European Parliament : Competition Commission
|
Mr President
One article of this report says that the Parliament:
Supports the competition policy pursued by the EU in general, and expressed its appreciation of the modernising reform which the Commission has carried out in the field of Competition.
I wonder, would the Parliament be so keen to applaud the Competition Commission, and in particular Nellie Kroes if they knew that for 13 years she was a member of Ballast Nedam’s Welfare Council, set up to protect employee welfare for some 13 years and would therefore have been aware of the situation which would result in Ballast Nedam, owned by Dutch construction company, unceremoniously pulled the plug on their UK subsidiary, leaving some 2000 employees with a grossly under-funded pension fund? Leaving many in my constituency now almost destitute.
If this is the type of behaviour which results in people being awarded positions in the Commission it is little wonder Europe is doing so fantastically badly in everything it turns its hand to. |
