"Madam President, I obviously find it very regrettable that, as fate would have it, this mistake crept in when one of France’s leading spokesmen for the ‘No’ campaign in the referendum was speaking. You therefore cut me off; you can protest.
The people of France cast their ‘No’ vote on 29 May 2005; they said ‘No’ to the Bolkestein Directive. I also find it regrettable that I am being cut off, with my speaking time slashed by a third, just when I am in the middle of saying that the Bolkestein Directive was unceremoniously thrown out by universal suffrage, with a kick up the backside from the people of France, and now it goes and makes a comeback here in the European Parliament. For the people of France who are tonight going to see the images on television screens across the land, this is quite simply a provocation. It is a provocation because the people of France heard Mr Chirac, the President of the Republic, say back in May: ‘the Bolkestein Directive is finished’. It was not finished – this is a provocation!"@en1
