"Mr President, according to the Commission, the purpose of this directive is to make it easier to open up the market in port services and thereby increase the competitiveness of European ports. In reality, the directive would not open up the market, but instead would increase bureaucracy, reduce the productivity of ports and reduce competition too.
The Commission’s proposal makes little sense. The rapporteur, Mr Jarzembowski, has certainly done an excellent job and tabled some relevant amendments, but it has to be said that even he cannot accomplish miracles. If the proposal is unworkable, it will not be made to work here in Parliament. Europe does not need more poor administration: instead, Europe and we need to ensure the quality of the work done at ports, the safety of employees and their rights and see to it that ports operate flexibly.
The EU must focus on the essential, and the intention behind the Commission’s simplification strategy is, or at least is said to be, to do away with needless regulation. In this case at least it has not succeeded. I hope that the Commission will also apply the principles which it articulates to the directive on port services and everything it does. This directive will have to be rejected."@en1
