Det skyldes, at den neoliberale tilgang bliver fremstillet - måske ikke af Dem, hr. Barroso, men af mange af Deres kommissærer og, hvad værre er, af rigtigt mange af Deres tjenestemænd i Kommissionen - som en dagligdags selvfølgelighed. Alt vil blive godt med Europa, lyder teorien, hvis det bliver dereguleret, bliver gjort mere fleksibelt og låst fast i en socialt nedadgående spiral.
This has to do with the fact that the neo-liberal approach is presented – perhaps not by you, Mr Barroso, but by many of your Commissioners and, what is far worse, by a great many of your officials within the Commission as a fact of everyday life; all will be well with Europe, so the theory goes, when it is deregulated, made more flexible, and locked into a downward social spiral.
