".
It is undoubtedly correct that any impulsion that could be given to the area of services in the EU would have a major economic impact. As Members are aware, approximately 70% of the Union's GDP comes from services. Therefore, any way of giving a major boost to this particular area would have a major impact in terms of jobs. The Services Directive is an attempt to open up this particular area and to achieve that major economic impact.
I am aware of the various studies carried out on the number of jobs that could be created. However, as the Member is also very much aware, the draft services directive has provoked a considerable amount of discussion within Member States and in all areas throughout the EU. As the Member is further aware, I am working with MEPs and I hope we can ensure that, when the Services Directive passes through its various processes, it will have a very positive economic impact, having taken on board the legitimate concerns of parliamentarians and others."@en1
