"As the last speaker, Commissioner, I can either repeat the comments of those who have already spoken or oppose them. I will try to make one or two additional points. In my view, if the European Constitution does not include a substantial chapter or article on public services, its authors will be in danger of playing into the hands of those who want it to be rejected. They must take heed, for the Constitution is to be ratified by referendum! My second point is as follows. If the concept of public services is not present, our citizens will stop believing in a European social model and see it as devoid of sense. This concept must therefore be introduced. Lastly, Commissioner, beware of ideologies! Just because the communist system of ‘all state’ did not work in the twentieth century, that does not mean that the capitalist system has necessarily got it right. Do not fall into the trap of jumping from ideology of ‘all state’ to the ideology of ‘all market’. The god of competition does not need a monument."@en1
