Contrary to what was asserted, in France, by supporters of the European Constitution, Mr Chirac did not obtain the withdrawal of the Bolkestein directive in Brussels on 23 March. In its official record, the European Council declares that the directive will not be withdrawn, indeed pointing out that it must remain on the European agenda, since the Growth and Jobs Strategy implies the opening up of the services market.
This lie is not, however, the first to be uttered by the hypocrites of the yes camp. Mr Bolkestein himself pointed it out: until this year, neither Mr Chirac nor Mr Raffarin had voiced the least reserve on his directive, which was approved by the French Commissioners, the socialist Pascal Lamy and the Chirac supporter Michel Barnier. Mr Bolkestein, with good reason, did nothing but carry out a decision taken in 2005 during the Lisbon Summit, where France was represented by Mr Chirac and Mr Jospin.
This directive is, however, only an outline of what awaits us if the European Constitution is adopted. Articles 144, 145 and 148 of the text are clear. Did you like the Bolkestein directive? You will love the European Constitution.
By voting no on 29 May, the people of France will be defending their jobs and their social rights."@en1
