lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I do not agree with the view that Parliament has betrayed the voters in working on this directive. I endorse the proposal for a directive and the balance reached, thanks, not least, to Parliament’s work. I believe that opening up to the market could be positive, not least as regards access to port services, but only under the conditions specified and introduced by Parliament’s amendments: only provided that safety, professional qualifications, contractual and social rules and environmental protection are rigorously safeguarded where all the companies and all the kinds of services connected with aspects of the different port services are concerned. The same must apply to self-handling. I am not against self-handling in principle, but it must not become an excuse for promoting forms of social dumping and ways of economising on professional qualification or safety. This is transparent competition. This applies to new ports too, in order to ensure the availability of private investments. Direct control over services and providers must be possible – and is highly desirable – but with due regard for those conditions: professional qualification, contractual and social rules, environmental protection and safety. Unless these conditions are observed, we will be lumping together things which are so very different that they neither properly serve the interests we represent nor further progress towards the objectives we want to achieve with this directive. I hope that the balance achieved by Parliament can be preserved."@en1
