lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, on behalf of the Green Group, I would like to talk about this dossier, and I would especially like to congratulate Mr Ferber and Mr Jarzembowski on the expert way in which they have walked the political tightrope and on the flexibility they have displayed in the process. I would also like to congratulate our co-rapporteur, Mr Simpson, on his perseverance. In the Dutch newspapers, Mr Bolkestein recently criticised the French for adopting a non-liberal attitude, or, at least, that is how the headline in one of the newspapers read. By the same token, I could criticise the Commissioner for not really applying the Dutch consultative model to this situation and for failing to anticipate the social implications which a liberalisation proposal such as this would have. After all, you may quote facts and possibly be right in terms of what Mr Sterckx had in mind, i.e. technological development, the way in which the sector is developing, the role of state companies, the way in which the Deutsche Post has now taken over DHL, etc., but this does not mean that you right. I believe that being proved right is an important matter in this House. In my view, we are taking one step back instead of forward. Many have levelled the criticism, which I share wholeheartedly, that we did not have the impact studies at our disposal. Where it was possible to study the impact studies, it appeared that the social aspects in particular had been neglected in terms of social cohesion, employment, special services, etc. Similarly, consultation involving the social partners simply failed to meet the mark, and it is against this background that my group will most certainly support these proposals. In other words, the question is raised as to whether my group supports the deferment of liberalisation, which brings me onto another topic. In the capacity of rapporteur of the general interest services for our committee, there is no doubt that we will need to cast a critical eye over these developments."@en1
