lpv:translated text	"Mr President, you were right in saying that there are many ladies present in our group this evening, and I know that will be to the Commissioner’s liking. Following the harsh words which have also been spoken from our side of the House, I will also try to congratulate Mrs in 't Veld and look at how we can, after all, reach compromises on this issue. I am told that she has indicated a willingness to take some of our amendments into consideration. I think that the first point is the in-house provision of services, in which respect, we would like to stand by what we said in last year’s Herzog report. Therefore, if she could support amendments in that respect, that would help us a great deal. The second point is public procurement and transparent tendering, which is covered in a number of amendments tabled by Mr Purvis, and also in an amendment by Mrs Wagenknecht, who states that this tendering should not take place unless required by law. This may be a bridging provision to clarify something that has, as you yourself indicate, not been incorporated well. Based on this, we can subsequently bring the different texts – there are always four different texts – into line with each other. Lastly, there is the issue about exempting hospitals and social housing, which we, too, regard as a rather random selection. We too would like to see this examined transparently and would like to see what the implications are, but would also like to indicate that much more is yet to be done and much more thought should be given to the way in which the criteria are determined. That is something that we believe should happen, not in four years’ time, but now, at a time when the services directive is up for discussion, to enable us to draft clear criteria based on a framework directive and services of general interest, precisely where the combination of private and public tendering is concerned. I would like to continue this discussion with the Commissioner in due course."@en1
