".
I and my British Conservative colleagues are long-standing and strong supporters of measures to complete the Single Market in the European Union. The liberalisation of services in the internal market is a major step towards this end and offers the successful British services industry many new opportunities to flourish in the future.
Although we have voted for the final package today, we are disappointed that an opportunity has been missed to agree a truly liberalising Directive. We therefore call on the Council and the British Prime Minister to take steps to reinforce the Directive without delay.
To have voted against this imperfect package and contribute to its failure would have given succour to those on the left in Europe who are ideologically opposed to liberalisation, free markets and economic reform. The European economy is urgently in need of liberalisation and we will continue to argue for this when Parliament considers this matter further at second reading."@en1
