lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to start by expressing my satisfaction at the fact that this debate is being held today instead of during the January part-session, although this is the result of a minor tussle between the groups. In my opinion, we are benefiting from the fruit of a wise decision which will further the progress of this extremely important dossier. The Presidency undertook to deal with the issue and intended to do so before the end of its mandate. If we are able to make an effective contribution, then that will, in any case, be a step in the right direction. This is a dossier which warranted swift treatment. I say this in all sincerity, for we Italian radicals feel, on the contrary, that the Commission's proposal, put forward by Commissioner Bolkestein, makes complete sense and that it would bring about both gradual opening-up of the market to competition and, in any case, the establishing of fixed time frames for all operators. This proposal could not be considered to be as as some say it is. On the other hand, parts of the Ferber report would appear to weaken the proposal. In fact, it provides for minimal subsequent opening-up of the market and provides absolutely no certainty regarding future steps while, as far as the universal service is concerned, the Swedish example should reassure all those who feel that privatisation will mean the end of the postal services. This is and must not become the case. We must remember that the postal services and, in general, logistics must in the coming years be one of the fundamental bases for the development of the new economy and that, if we adopt defensive tactics to protect the defending the major interests of monopolies and unions, then thousands of jobs will be threatened. This would be in outright contrast with the goals the European institutions set themselves in Lisbon."@en1
