The proposal would have ensured a better functioning of the posted workers’ directive, as it is known. Commenting on the postponement, SP Euro-MP Dennis de Jong explains that “the Commission is now extremely divided over the earlier leaked text. It’s clear that for some Commissioners the rights of workers are not a priority. The SP wants to see the Commission opt plainly and simply for equal pay for equal work.” http://international.sp.nl/bericht/81151/120207-tiny_kox_in_russia_day_1_arrival_in_moscow.html Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:12:00 +0100 webmaster@sp.nl (Webmaster International) 81151@http://international.sp.nl SP Senator Tiny Kox is in Russia once again to prepare for a Council of Europe observer mission, this time for the presidential elections scheduled for 4th March.

In an article in the Armed Forces Journal entitled ‘Trust, Lies and Afghanistan’, whistleblower Colonel Davis openly questions how many people will still have to die in an operation that has been wholly unsuccessful. SP Member of Parliament and international affairs spokesman Harry van Bommel has applauded the colonel for his openness and intends to raise Davis’s views this week during an evaluation of the Dutch operation in the Afghan province of Uruzgan. http://international.sp.nl/bericht/81022/120205-weeklog_dennis_de_jong_coup_dtat_by_goldman_sachs.html Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:07:00 +0100 webmaster@sp.nl (Webmaster International) 81022@http://international.sp.nl This week it became known that Goldman Sachs has big plans for the extension of its banking activities in Europe. Because many European banks are engaged in repositioning, whereby they are withdrawing from some of their riskier activities – even though they have not been forced to do so - space is being created in the sector. It is galling to note that one of the banks which nurtured this current crisis apparently has the wind behind it to such an extent that it can breeze still further into Europe. In this it will meet little resistance from either member state governments or EU institutions, given that an impressive number of EU big cheeses have or have had links to Goldman Sachs. This confirms once again the image of a Europe dominated by a network of bankers and business people. Happily this is striking ever more people and hopefully we can stand up against it. After all, this concerns nothing more or less than our democracy.

The Dutch government makes use of the services of such companies but registration and screening are as things stand not obligatory if the work for which they are hired is performed abroad. According to a recent television documentary the result is that persons with a history of criminality can easily find employment with private military corporations.
