Mr President, Commissioner Andor, Commissioner Rehn yesterday applauded a reform in Spain that established free dismissal without severance pay for the hundreds of thousands of young people to whom it will apply.
Do you not think, Commissioner, that the time has come to state that the European Social Charter protects workers against arbitrary dismissals, and that it is not good that young people go from swelling the army of unemployed people to becoming part of the working poor? Has the time not come to say that we want work, but that we want decent jobs and rights for our young people?
