lpv:translated text	"Mr President, unfortunately, I have to say that the European Council was a unique display of bad leadership. At a time when the European economy is in real need of reform, when unemployment is increasing – including in Sweden, Mr Andersson – and Euroscepticism is becoming more widespread, what does the Council do? Instead of standing up for Europe and publicly taking the lead, the EU’s leaders completely shy away from one of the most important issues in the Lisbon process, namely the Services Directive. Out of fear of various referendums, they give oxygen to the lies and myths cultivated by strong forces on the left in connection with this directive. There will, it is maintained, be no end to all the misery that will be suffered by European consumers and employees if the Services Directive goes through. Nonetheless, the Council and the Commission know that this directive, which has nothing to do with the new Constitution, is incredibly important for European growth, jobs and consumers. Naturally, no one wants the Services Directive to lead to social dumping but, instead of standing up for the directive, which they themselves have ordered, they help foment a host of false perceptions, the result being increasing distrust. How are people to believe in Europe when not even we who work with Europe every day dare to do so?"@en1
