". After more than a year of debates in committee and within European public opinion, the European Parliament gave its verdict today on the Services Directive. Remaining faithful to my beliefs and to the commitment made to the many citizens who questioned me about this directive, I voted, in the first instance, in favour of rejecting the directive, as did the entire French delegation of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament. This rejection was not upheld (153 to 486 votes). The French members of the PSE had three basic requirements: that SGEIs be excluded from the scope of the directive, that the rule of the country of destination principle be explicitly referred to and that a framework directive on public services be referred to. I therefore supported all of the amendments aimed at narrowing the scope of the text and at clearly excluding from it public services and the sectors crucial to our social model, notably education, culture, health care and so on. These amendments were also rejected. As the compromise between the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament does not meet my requirements where preserving our European social model is concerned, I voted against the text in the final vote. I also note that the support for the amendment aimed at rejecting the amended text was broader (215 votes) than the outcome of the first vote on the withdrawal of the text led us to predict."@en1
