lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I wish the European Council every success in its review of the Lisbon Strategy. A decisive effort is needed to boost competitiveness not only through good programmes but also in real economic activities, because sustainable development and more jobs can result only from more growth. We also need to enhance the credibility of this Union for entrepreneurs as well as citizens at large. Not only the governments but also these people need to be motivated to contribute actively to achieving the Lisbon goals. One solution lies in opening up the EU market in services. If we really intend to enhance efficiency and motivation, then we must open up without further delay. This could prove to be one of the most important and productive reforms of this organisation. Conversely, watering down the Services Directive could deliver a devastating blow to the principles of equality and solidarity. It was said in this Chamber today that free movement of goods and capital without free movement of services is nonsense. In this context, the country-of-origin principle must be seen as an inseparable part of the directive. I really hope that the new Commission will not weaken its stand on EU market liberalisation. Instead of waging battles to further conserve the present unequal status quo, we should concentrate on the benefits that free competition would bring to all of us, both old and new Member States, and benefits there clearly are! I hope that the European Council will show enough political will to make our citizens believe that Member States are serious about creating the conditions for dynamic growth. This will also be a test for the EU’s solidarity."@en1
