".
The majority in Parliament has adopted the compromise between the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, which sought to retain essential aspects of the proposed directive on the liberalisation of services, rather than to reject it, as we had been proposing.
As a result of the resounding condemnation of the worst aspects of this proposal and the workers’ campaign to have the directive rejected, the majority in Parliament has excluded some areas from its scope, putting a decision on them back to a later date and, in a feat of legal sleight of hand, has concealed the regulation applying the law on the country of origin of the service provider.
Nevertheless, although the ambitious plans of the large economic and financial groups have not all been realised, competition has been stepped up in a number of service sectors, including public services. This will have a damaging impact on workers’ rights and on the services provided to the people. In the same way, the sovereignty of individual countries is being cut back even further, strengthening the role of the Court of Justice.
The directive on the liberalisation of services has not yet been adopted. The Council, on which the Portuguese Government has a seat, needs to assume its responsibilities. As far as we are concerned, we shall continue to fight for the rejection of the proposed directive, which, if adopted, will undermine the interests of the workers and of the country."@en1
