"The June List shares the view that the internal market for services is not complete. We welcome the Services Directive and believe that, irrespective of the country they come from, services companies should not be discriminated against in any EU country.
The core issue in the debate on the Services Directive is that of whether the directive should be guided by the country of origin principle (Article 16). The June List values both the internal market and national self-determination. The fundamental question is thus as follows: does the country of origin principle entail such decisive advantages that we are prepared to renounce national sovereignty? Our answer to that question is no.
The country of origin principle relates to significant, but strictly limited, areas such as construction, installation work and consultancy services. We welcome competition within these areas, but believe that it must take place on conditions that are fair to all parties. We believe that Swedish rules must apply on Swedish territory. We thus support what is known as the host country principle.
We are also of the view that national monopolies on services should be respected. Precisely what shape is to be taken by these services should be decided following broad discussion in the respective Member States.
It follows from the aforesaid position that we have chosen to support the compromise put forward by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament."@en1
