I refer to the number of trade unions that have come out in opposition to the treaty. It is remarkable for the trade union leadership to find itself in a position whereby it is advising its members to vote against the terms of the treaty and against the interests of the ordinary workers of the country. It is in the interests of every worker in the country that the treaty is passed. It will ensure that economic stability is restored across Europe. It is only through the restoration of stability and confidence that we will be in a position to attract investment, retain the investment we have and create the conditions for new jobs.
