Mr President, how well I remember the declaration of the Lisbon Agenda in this very Chamber. We were going to become the world’s most dynamic and vibrant economy, with full employment. Well, here we are, over halfway through, and what do we have? Twenty million unemployed and, in the eurozone, desperately low growth rates and a complete collapse of foreign direct investment. We are stumbling around in an economic desert, but rather like the soldiers – the French Foreign Legionnaires in
suddenly we have seen a vision: the services directive. It is going to give us a free market, liberal economics and the solution to all our woes. Sadly, of course, it is a mirage, because nothing is ever as it seems in the European Union. This belief that yet more legislation will improve things is wrong every time.
When we talked in 1999 about the creation of a single market in financial services, all my friends in the real world in the City of London said: ‘Nigel, you have got it wrong’. I am fairly used to people telling me that I have got it wrong. But, seven years on, what has happened? We have a financial services action plan, we have the implementation of 42 new directives and the burden on financial services is heavier than it was before. Businesses are leaving every day and moving to Switzerland and Bermuda and the same thing will happen with the services directive.
The application of this directive will vary from country to country. The Commission will say that we need more harmonisation measures to make it work. The burden on business will increase and, worst of all, it will be the European Court of Justice that can legislate and decide on all this. This directive represents yet another massive shift of power from the Member States to these failing institutions. They will no longer be able to run their own economies. We shall vote ‘no’."@en4

"Hr. formand, hvor godt husker jeg ikke erklæringen om Lissabon-dagsordenen i netop denne sag. Vi skulle blive verdens mest dynamiske og aktive økonomi med fuld beskæftigelse. Tja, her sidder vi mere end halvvejs gennem forløbet, og hvad har vi? 20 millioner arbejdsløse og i eurozonen desperat lave vækstrater og et fuldstændigt kollaps af direkte udenlandske investeringer. Vi tumler rundt i en økonomisk ørken, men ligesom soldater - de franske fremmedlegionærer i
har vi pludselig fået en vision: direktivet om tjenesteydelser. Det vil give os et frit marked, en liberal økonomi og løsningen på alle vores problemer. Desværre er det naturligvis en luftspejling, for intet er nogensinde, som det ser ud til at være i EU. Denne tro på, at mere lovgivning vil forbedre forholdene, er forkert hver gang.
Da vi i 1999 talte om skabelse af et fælles marked for finansielle tjenesteydelser, sagde alle mine venner i den virkelige verden i Londons City: "Nigel, du tager fejl". Jeg er temmelig vant til, at folk fortæller mig, at jeg tager fejl. Men hvad skete der så syv år senere? Vi har en handlingsplan for den finansielle sektor, vi har gennemførelsen af 42 nye direktiver, og byrden på finanssektoren er tungere, end den var tidligere. Hver dag flytter virksomheder til Schweiz og Bermuda, og det samme vil ske i forbindelse med direktivet om tjenesteydelser.
Anvendelsen af dette direktiv vil variere fra land til land. Kommissionen vil sige, at vi behøver flere harmoniseringsforanstaltninger for at få det til at virke. Byrden på erhvervslivet vil vokse, og hvad der er værst, det vil være Domstolen, der kan lovgive og træffe beslutninger om alt dette. Dette direktiv repræsenterer endnu en massiv overførsel af magt fra medlemsstaterne til disse institutioner, som ikke kan klare opgaven. De vil ikke længere være i stand til at kontrollere deres egen økonomi. Vi stemmer nej."@da2

Herr Präsident! Wie gut ich mich doch an die Verkündung der Agenda von Lissabon in diesem Saal erinnere. Wir sollten uns bei voller Beschäftigung zum dynamischsten und florierendsten Wirtschaftsraum der Welt entwickeln. Inzwischen ist mehr als die Hälfte der Zeit um, und was haben wir erreicht? Zwanzig Millionen Arbeitslose und im Euro-Währungsgebiet extrem niedrige Wachstumsraten sowie ein völliges Ausbleiben ausländischer Direktinvestitionen. Wir irren in einer ökonomischen Wüste umher. Doch plötzlich haben wir so wie die französischen Fremdenlegionäre in „Beau Geste“ eine Vision: die Dienstleistungsrichtlinie. Sie wird für einen freien Markt und eine liberale Ökonomie sorgen und die Lösung für all unsere Sorgen bereithalten. Leider ist das natürlich eine Fata Morgana, denn nichts in der Europäischen Union ist jemals, was es zu sein scheint. Der Glaube, dass noch mehr Gesetzgebung etwas verbessern könnte, erweist sich jedes Mal als falsch.
Als wir 1999 über die Schaffung eines Binnenmarktes für Finanzdienstleistungen sprachen, sagten alle meine Freunde in der realen Welt im Londoner Finanzdistrikt: „Nigel, Ihr habt Unrecht.“ Ich bin daran gewöhnt, dass man mir sagt, dass ich Unrecht habe. Was ist in den zurückliegenden sieben Jahren passiert? Wir haben einen Aktionsplan für Finanzdienstleistungen, wir haben die Umsetzung von 42 neuen Richtlinien, und die Belastung für Finanzdienstleistungen ist höher als je zuvor. Täglich wandern Unternehmen ab und siedeln sich in der Schweiz oder auf den Bermuda an, und mit der Dienstleistungsrichtlinie wird das Gleiche passieren.
Die Anwendung dieser Richtlinie wird sich von Land zu Land unterscheiden. Die Kommission wird sagen, dass stärker harmonisiert werden muss, damit sie funktioniert. Die Belastung für Unternehmen wird sich erhöhen, und am schlimmsten ist, dass der Europäische Gerichtshof all dies gesetzlich regeln und entsprechende Entscheidungen treffen kann. Diese Richtlinie stellt eine weitere massive Verlagerung der Macht von den Mitgliedstaaten auf diese angeschlagenen Institutionen dar. Sie werden nicht mehr in der Lage sein, über die eigene Wirtschaft zu entscheiden. Wir werden mit Nein stimmen."@de9
"Κύριε Πρόεδρε, θυμάμαι πολύ καλά τη δήλωση της Ατζέντας της Λισσαβόνας σε αυτήν ακριβώς την Αίθουσα. Επρόκειτο να γίνουμε η πλέον δυναμική και ζωηρή οικονομία του κόσμου, με πλήρη απασχόληση. Λοιπόν, είμαστε εδώ, στα μέσα της διαδρομής, και τι έχουμε κάνει; Είκοσι εκατομμύρια ανέργων και, στην ευρωζώνη, απελπιστικά χαμηλά ποσοστά ανάπτυξης και πλήρη κατάρρευση των ξένων άμεσων επενδύσεων. Παραπαίουμε σε μία οικονομική έρημο, αλλά μάλλον σαν τους στρατιώτες –της Γαλλικής Λεγεώνας των Ξένων στην ταινία
αίφνης είδαμε ένα όραμα: την οδηγία για τις υπηρεσίες. Θα μας δώσει μία ελεύθερη αγορά, φιλελεύθερη οικονομία και τη λύση σε όλα μας τα δεινά. Δυστυχώς, φυσικά, πρόκειται για οφθαλμαπάτη, επειδή τίποτα δεν είναι ποτέ όπως φαίνεται στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. Η εν λόγω πεποίθηση ότι ακόμη περισσότερη νομοθετική ρύθμιση θα βελτιώσει τα πράγματα είναι πάντοτε λανθασμένη.
Όταν μιλούσαμε το 1999 για τη δημιουργία μίας ενιαίας αγοράς χρηματοπιστωτικών υπηρεσιών, όλοι οι φίλοι μου στον πραγματικό κόσμο, στο Σίτυ του Λονδίνου είπαν: «Nigel, κάνεις λάθος». Είμαι αρκετά συνηθισμένος να μου λένε ότι κάνω λάθος. Όμως, μετά από επτά χρόνια, τι έχει συμβεί; Έχουμε ένα σχέδιο δράσης για τις χρηματοπιστωτικές υπηρεσίες, έχουμε την εφαρμογή 42 νέων οδηγιών και η επιβάρυνση για τις χρηματοπιστωτικές υπηρεσίες είναι μεγαλύτερη από ό,τι ήταν πριν. Οι επιχειρήσεις μετεγκαθίστανται καθημερινά στην Ελβετία και τις Βερμούδες και το ίδιο θα συμβεί με την οδηγία για τις υπηρεσίες.
Η εφαρμογή της παρούσας οδηγίας θα διαφέρει από χώρα σε χώρα. Η Επιτροπή θα πει ότι χρειαζόμαστε περισσότερα μέτρα εναρμόνισης για να την κάνουμε να λειτουργήσει. Η επιβάρυνση για τις επιχειρήσεις θα αυξηθεί και, το χειρότερο όλων, το Ευρωπαϊκό Δικαστήριο θα μπορεί να νομοθετεί και να αποφαίνεται για όλα αυτά. Αυτή η οδηγία αποτελεί μία ακόμη μαζική εκχώρηση εξουσίας από τα κράτη μέλη σε αυτά τα αποτυχημένα όργανα. Δεν θα είναι πλέον σε θέση να διοικούν τις ίδιες τους τις οικονομίες. Πρέπει να ψηφίσουμε «όχι»."@el10

Señor Presidente, qué bien recuerdo la declaración de la Agenda de Lisboa en esta misma Cámara. Íbamos a convertirnos en la economía más dinámica y vibrante del mundo, con pleno empleo. Bien, aquí estamos, a mitad de camino, y ¿qué tenemos? Veinte millones de personas en paro y, en la zona del euro, índices de crecimiento desesperadamente bajos y una caída absoluta de la inversión directa extranjera. Vamos dando tumbos en un desierto económico y, como los soldados de la Legión Extranjera Francesa en
de repente hemos tenido una visión: la Directiva de servicios. Nos dará un mercado libre, una economía liberal y la solución a todos nuestros males. Por desgracia, naturalmente, es un espejismo, porque nada nunca es lo que parece en la Unión Europea. Esta creencia de que más legislación mejorará la situación siempre es errónea.
Cuando hablábamos en 1999 de la creación de un mercado único de servicios financieros, todos mis amigos del mundo real de la City de Londres dijeron: «Nigel, os habéis equivocado». Estoy acostumbrado a que la gente me diga que me he equivocado. Pero, siete años después, ¿qué ha ocurrido? Tenemos un plan de acción de servicios financieros, se han aplicado 42 nuevas directivas y la carga sobre los servicios financieros es más pesada que antes. Todos los días hay empresas que se marchan a Suiza y a las Bermudas y lo mismo ocurrirá con la Directiva de servicios.
La aplicación de esta directiva variará de país a país. La Comisión dirá que necesitamos más medidas de armonización para que funcione. La carga sobre las empresas aumentará y, lo peor de todo, será el Tribunal de Justicia Europeo quien pueda legislar y decidir sobre todo esto. Esta directiva representa otra cesión masiva de poder de los Estados miembros a estas instituciones fallidas. Ya no podrán dirigir sus propias economías. Votaremos «no»."@es20

Arvoisa puhemies, kuinka hyvin muistankaan Lissabonin suunnitelman julistamisen tässä samassa istuntosalissa! Meistä piti tulla maailman dynaamisin ja energisin talous ja täystyöllisyyden piti toteutua. No, nyt olemme ylittäneet puolivälin, ja mitä olemmekaan saaneet aikaan. Työttömiä on 20 miljoonaa, euroalueen kasvuasteet ovat epätoivoisen heikkoja ja ulkomaiset suorat investoinnit ovat romahtaneet täysin. Kompuroimme taloudellisessa erämaassa, mutta sotilaiden tavoin – Ranskan muukalaislegioonalaisten tavoin
meillä on yhtäkkiä näkemys: palveludirektiivi. Sen avulla saamme vapaat markkinat, liberaalit taloudet ja ratkaisun kaikkiin huoliimme. Tämä on valitettavasti tietysti harhakuva, sillä Euroopan unionissa mikään ei koskaan ole sitä, miltä näyttää. Usko, jonka mukaan uusi lainsäädäntö parantaa asioita, on aina väärä.
Kun vuonna 1999 keskustelimme rahoituspalveluiden yhtenäismarkkinoiden luomisesta, kaikki ystäväni Lontoon Cityn todellisessa maailmassa sanoivat: "Nigel, olet ymmärtänyt väärin". Olen jokseenkin tottunut siihen, että ihmiset kertovat minun ymmärtäneen asioita väärin. Mutta mitä on tapahtunut nyt seitsemän vuoden kuluttua? Meillä on rahoituspalvelujen toimintasuunnitelma, panemme täytäntöön 42 uutta direktiiviä ja rahoituspalvelujen taakka on entistä raskaampi. Yrityksiä siirtyy päivittäin Sveitsiin ja Bermudalle, ja samoin käy palveludirektiivin kanssa.
Direktiiviä sovelletaan vaihtelevasti eri jäsenvaltioissa. Komissio sanoo, että tarvitsemme enemmän yhdenmukaistamistoimenpiteitä, jotta se toimisi. Yritysten taakka kasvaa, ja mikä pahinta, tästä säätää ja päättää yhteisöjen tuomioistuin. Direktiivi merkitsee jälleen yhtä valtavaa toimivallansiirtoa jäsenvaltioilta näille heikoille toimielimille. Jäsenvaltiot eivät enää kykene vastaamaan omista talouksistaan. Äänestämme ehdotusta vastaan."@fi7

Monsieur le Président, je me rappelle très bien la déclaration de l’agenda de Lisbonne au sein de cette Assemblée. Nous allions devenir l’économie la plus dynamique et la plus vivante au monde et connaître le plein emploi. Eh bien voilà, à mi-parcours, où en sommes-nous? Vingt millions de chômeurs et dans la zone euro, des taux de croissance désespérément bas et une chute complète des investissements directs étrangers. Nous chancelons dans un désert économique, mais comme les soldats de la Légion étrangère française dans le film
nous avons soudainement eu une vision. Cette vision nous donnera un marché libre, une économie libérale et la solution à tous nos maux. Malheureusement, c’est bien entendu un mirage parce que rien n’est jamais comme il y paraît dans l’Union européenne. Cette conviction selon laquelle plus de législation améliorera la situation s’est toujours avérée fausse.
En 1999, lorsque nous avons évoqué la création d’un marché unique des services financiers, tous mes amis du monde réel de la City à Londres l’ont affirmé: «Nigel, vous vous trompez». J’ai l’habitude des gens qui me disent que j’ai tort. Toutefois, sept ans après, qu’est-il arrivé? Nous avons un plan d’action sur les services financiers, nous avons mis en œuvre 42 nouvelles directives et le fardeau qui pèse sur les services financiers est plus lourd qu’auparavant. Des entreprises s’en vont tous les jours et s’installent en Suisse et dans les Bermudes, et c’est ce qui se passera à nouveau avec la directive sur les services.
L’application de cette directive variera d’un pays à l’autre. La Commission affirmera que nous avons besoin de davantage de mesures d’harmonisation pour qu’elle fonctionne. Le fardeau pesant sur les entreprises ne fera que croître et, pire que tout, c’est la Cour de justice européenne qui pourra légiférer et décider de tout. Cette directive constitue un nouveau glissement de pouvoir majeur des États membres vers ces institutions défaillantes. Ces derniers ne seront plus en mesure de gérer leurs propres économies. Nous devons voter «non»."@fr8

Signor Presidente, ricordo molto bene la dichiarazione sull’agenda di Lisbona fatta proprio in quest’Aula. L’Unione sarebbe diventata l’economia più dinamica e competitiva del mondo, con la piena occupazione. Bene, eccoci qua, con più di metà strada alle spalle, e che cosa abbiamo? Venti milioni di disoccupati e, nella zona dell’euro, tassi di crescita spaventosamente bassi e il crollo totale degli investimenti diretti esteri. Ci trasciniamo barcollanti in un deserto economico, ma – come i soldati francesi della legione straniera in
abbiamo improvvisamente avuto una visione: la direttiva sui servizi. Ci darà un libero mercato, economie liberiste e la soluzione a tutti i nostri guai. Purtroppo, ovviamente si tratta di un miraggio, perché niente è mai quel che sembra nell’Unione europea. La convinzione che un ennesimo atto legislativo migliorerà la situazione è sempre sbagliata.
Quando, nel 1999, si parlava di creare un mercato unico dei servizi finanziari, tutti i miei amici nel mondo reale della
di Londra dicevano: “Nigel, ti stai sbagliando”. Sono abbastanza abituato a sentirmi dire che sbaglio. Tuttavia, a distanza di sette anni, che cosa è successo? Abbiamo un piano d’azione sui servizi finanziari, abbiamo l’attuazione di 42 nuove direttive e gli oneri gravanti sui servizi finanziari sono più pesanti che mai. Ogni giorno vi sono imprese che abbandonano l’attività per trasferirsi in Svizzera e alle Bermuda e lo stesso accadrà con la direttiva sui servizi.
L’applicazione di questa direttiva varierà da paese a paese. La Commissione dirà che sono necessarie ulteriori misure di armonizzazione perché funzioni. Gli oneri gravanti sulle imprese aumenteranno e, ancora peggio, sarà la Corte di giustizia a legiferare e decidere in materia. Questa direttiva rappresenta un ennesimo massiccio trasferimento di poteri dagli Stati membri a queste Istituzioni fallimentari. Non saranno più in grado di gestire le loro stesse economie.

"Mijnheer de Voorzitter, ik herinner me nog heel goed het moment waarop de doelstellingen van Lissabon in dit Parlement werden voorgelezen. We zouden ’s werelds meest dynamische en innovatieve economie worden, met volledige werkgelegenheid. We zitten nu op de helft van de rit, en hoe ziet de toestand eruit? Twintig miljoen werklozen en hopeloos lage groeicijfers in de eurozone, waar vrijwel geen directe buitenlandse investeringen meer worden gedaan. We strompelen voort in deze economische woestijn en opeens krijgen we - net als de soldaten van het vreemdelingenlegioen in
een visioen: de dienstenrichtlijn. Die zal ons een vrije markt geven, een liberaal economisch milieu en een oplossing voor al onze problemen. Helaas is dat een luchtspiegeling. Zoals te verwachten, overigens: in de Europese Unie zijn de dingen nooit wat ze lijken. Het idee dat nog meer wetgeving tot verbetering zal leiden blijkt iedere keer weer een vergissing.
Toen we in 1999 discussieerden over het opzetten van een geïntegreerde markt voor financiële diensten, zeiden al mijn vrienden uit de City van Londen - de
wereld - tegen mij: “Nigel, je zit ernaast”. Nu ben ik eraan gewend dat mensen me vertellen dat ik het bij het verkeerde eind heb. Maar wat is nu, zeven jaar later, de situatie? We hebben een actieplan voor financiële diensten, en we moeten nieuwe 42 richtlijnen implementeren. De financiële diensten hebben het moeilijker dan voorheen. Elke dag weer verhuizen er ondernemingen naar Zwitserland of Bermuda. Met de dienstenrichtlijn zal hetzelfde gebeuren.
Deze richtlijn zal in elke lidstaat op een andere wijze worden toegepast. De Commissie zegt dat we meer harmonisatiemaatregelen nodig hebben om de richtlijn goed te laten functioneren. De lasten voor de ondernemingen nemen zo alleen maar toe, en wat erger is, het Europees Hof van Justitie kan met betrekking tot deze materie beslissingen nemen en zo wetgeving creëren. Met deze richtlijn worden er opnieuw belangrijke bevoegdheden van de lidstaten overgeheveld naar de - falende - instellingen. De lidstaten zullen dan niet meer in staat zijn hun economie zelf te beheren. We zullen dus tegen stemmen."@nl3

Businesses are leaving every day and moving to Switzerland and Bermuda and the same thing will happen with the services directive.
The application of this directive will vary from country to country. The Commission will say that we need more harmonisation measures to make it work. The burden on business will increase and, worst of all, it will be the European Court of Justice that can legislate and decide on all this. This directive represents yet another massive shift of power from the Member States to these failing institutions. They will no longer be able to run their own economies. We shall vote ‘no’."@sk18
"Mr President, how well I remember the declaration of the Lisbon Agenda in this very Chamber. We were going to become the world’s most dynamic and vibrant economy, with full employment. Well, here we are, over halfway through, and what do we have? Twenty million unemployed and, in the eurozone, desperately low growth rates and a complete collapse of foreign direct investment. We are stumbling around in an economic desert, but rather like the soldiers – the French Foreign Legionnaires in
suddenly we have seen a vision: the services directive. It is going to give us a free market, liberal economics and the solution to all our woes. Sadly, of course, it is a mirage, because nothing is ever as it seems in the European Union. This belief that yet more legislation will improve things is wrong every time.
When we talked in 1999 about the creation of a single market in financial services, all my friends in the real world in the City of London said: ‘Nigel, you have got it wrong’. I am fairly used to people telling me that I have got it wrong. But, seven years on, what has happened? We have a financial services action plan, we have the implementation of 42 new directives and the burden on financial services is heavier than it was before.

Herr talman! Jag minns så väl förklaringen av Lissabonmålen i precis denna kammare. Vi skulle bli den mest dynamiska och sjudande ekonomin i världen, med full sysselsättning. Ja, här sitter vi nu, mer än halvvägs igenom, och vad har vi uppnått? Tjugo miljoner arbetslösa och förtvivlat låg tillväxttakt i euroområdet samt en total kollaps av utländska direktinvesteringar. Vi snubblar runt i en ekonomisk öken, men liksom soldaterna – i den franska främlingslegionen i
får vi plötsligt en vision: tjänstedirektivet. Det ska ge oss en fri marknad, liberala ekonomier och lösningen på alla våra problem. Sorgligt nog är det, naturligtvis, en hägring, för ingenting är någonsin vad det ser ut att vara i Europeiska unionen. Denna tro att ytterligare lagstiftning ska förbättra saker och ting visar sig varje gång vara fel.
Då vi 1999 talade om upprättandet av en inre marknad för finansiella tjänster sa alla mina vänner ute i den riktiga världen, i staden London: ”Nigel, du har missuppfattat detta.” Jag är ganska van vid att människor säger åt mig att jag har missuppfattat saker och ting. Men vad har hänt sju år senare? Vi har en handlingsplan för finansiella tjänster, vi har genomfört 42 nya direktiv, och bördan på de finansiella tjänsterna är tyngre än tidigare. Företag lämnar unionen varje dag och flyttar till Schweiz och Bermuda, och det kommer att bli samma sak med tjänstedirektivet.
Tillämpningen av det här direktivet kommer att variera från land till land. Kommissionen kommer att säga att det behövs fler harmoniseringsåtgärder för att det ska fungera. Bördan på näringslivet kommer att öka, och, det värsta av allt, det kommer att vara EG-domstolen som får lagstifta och besluta om allt detta. Detta direktiv representerar ännu en enorm maktförskjutning från medlemsstaterna till dessa bristfälliga institutioner. De kommer inte längre att kunna styra sina egna ekonomier. Vi kommer att rösta ”nej”."@sv21
