"Today, the European Parliament is saying what it has to say about how we are to create free movement of services within the EU - one of the four freedoms on which our common European cooperation is based. In an evermore globalised world economy with constantly increased competition, the European economy needs to make the most of those areas in which we are competitive. The services sector is one such area. The compromises on which the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament have agreed have unfortunately opened up new opportunities for making further protectionism legal and in such a way as will obstruct the trade in services between neighbouring countries and will deal a particularly hard blow to the newest Member States. In spite of everything, I have chosen to vote today in favour of the watered-down proposal, since it may be a first step towards what I hope will be a freedom of movement for services – which are already exposed to competition – that is worthy of our common European internal market."@en1
