".
The directive, in the form in which this House has adopted it, obliges the Member States to eliminate all kinds of obstacles that continue to hamper the free movement of services. It is because this represents progress particularly for SMEs that I have voted for the compromise.
The retention of the country-of-origin principle means that this does not disappear from the Treaty, unless we deny the continued existence of the internal market. I am confident that the Commission and the Council will respond to this by coming up with a better proposal.
Preferring as I would to see the market in services liberalised still further, I am disappointed by the stance taken by the Socialists and the Christian Democrats: the Liberals alone have, from the very outset, sent out a clear message to the effect that they support the free operation of the market in Europe and that they seek further liberalisation of the internal market. Both the Socialists and the Christian Democrats have sold the pass in order to keep in with the trade unions at the expense of consumers. Such protectionism puts our children’s future at risk."@en1
