".
I am pleased with the outcome of this historic vote on the Internal Market in Services. It demonstrates the European Parliament's ability to handle complex legislation and make vital improvements that take into account the concerns of people in our community: here ensuring that workers and consumers' rights are not undermined by ambitious and forward-thinking legislation.
In voting for the amended Services Directive I supported measures that strike the balance of opening the single market whilst securing workers' social rights and safeguarding our vital public services.
Opening up the market in services is not merely about boosting big businesses but also about creating jobs and spreading potential economic benefits to consumers and producers of around EUR 30 billion. This legislation will give small and medium-sized businesses the chance to provide cross border services, enabling them finally to take advantage of the unique regional integration that a Union of 25 states offers without having to enter into costly legal wrangling in the Courts.
Faced with the challenges of thriving markets in services in third countries, such as is the case in India and China, Europe needed to grasp this opportunity to improve its competitive edge in a dynamic and growing sector."@en1
