lpv:translated text	". Mr President the Committee on Petitions supported the initial draft of the Services Directive. We welcomed the even earlier draft tabled by Commissioner Bolkenstein. I am bound to remind the House of this. In the course of our discussions and deliberations on the subject in the Committee on Petitions we also stated that, as we understand it, European integration is based on what we signed up to, and that was first and foremost the four fundamental freedoms. These four freedoms were to represent a new opportunity for Europe. They were to make it possible for the Lisbon Strategy to succeed. We wanted to make European integration a reality. We are completely in favour, but only to the extent of what we signed up to. What we signed up to was essentially European economic integration. We have been distressed to hear it said that certain new Member States are not contributing to integration. I would point out that we were not the ones to reject the Constitutional Treaty and we are not the ones wanting to put Europe’s economy in a straitjacket today. I have to say that I am concerned about the notion of reaching some compromise here and glossing over the differences of opinion. This would mislead European public opinion. The public actually needs to know that just as opinion outside is divided, so too is this House. We do not want to create the impression that nobody actually wants economic freedom and that nobody wants to help Europe to become the main driving force and not one of many driving forces of European success. I was saddened to hear references to social dumping in the House today. This is not consistent with a normal, healthy economy. I am not surprised that today’s demonstrators are in such high spirits because it seems they will achieve success. They will achieve the kind of success that well-paid trade union activists always achieve."@en1
