We need a directive on the recognition of professional qualifications in order to guarantee the freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services in the single market without discrimination concerning the level of professional qualifications. This principle is not disputed. We must avoid mixing it up with the infamous ‘Bolkestein’ proposal for a directive, the aim of which is to create a true single market in services and which we will discuss here in the coming months to amend it where necessary.
With regard to the amendments submitted to us in the context of the draft recommendation for second reading, I share the concerns of the craftsmen in my country, who are worried that the professional qualifications required for establishment will be devalued, which is incompatible with the Lisbon Strategy and the importance of training stressed therein. The legitimate concern to create a true functioning single market must not lead to levelling down. It is in the interests of both companies and consumers to provide qualified services and products. That is why I voted in favour of the amendments that, quite rightly, aim to strengthen the legal security of people involved in business activity."@en1
