Recital G
G. whereas, as stated in the Single Market Act, ‘Commission communication on "Towards a Single Market Act, "the sense of disillusionment felt by some towards the internal market may also be the result of the perception that successive liberalisations have been carried out at the expense of the social rights acquired by various economic operators."; "The Lisbon Treaty, and the affirmation of the concept of a ’'highly competitive social market economy‘' as one of its key objectives, require "the Union" to adopt a more all-embracing view of the single market (...). Economic freedoms and freedoms of collective action must be reconciled. New life must be breathed into the social dialogue, making it more likely to lead to legislation 'by and for' the social partners, as explicitly provided for by the Lisbon Treaty."; "Beyond purely reactive approaches to the economic and financial crisis, pre-emptive strategies have allowed businesses and their employees to ward off industrial disputes through the proactive management of restructuring operations. This is a precondition for economic success and is a social requirement, since it enables resources to be redistributed to emerging sectors and opens new windows of opportunity for workers when their jobs are at risk. A European framework for restructuring exercises would make for an environment based on mutual trust.’;"
