lpv:translated text	"Today, the European Parliament has voted on one of the most important legislative matters we have ever dealt with – the Services Directive. The Services Directive is designed to remove the obstacles to two of the freedoms that have formed part of the EC Treaty since 1958: freedom of establishment for suppliers of services, and freedom of movement for services. The potential for the trade in services is huge, and Sweden is one of those countries that has most to gain from an efficient market for services. The debate on the Services Directive has been wide-ranging. Swedish and European trade unions point out that the directive contributes to ‘social dumping’. That is not the case, because the directive does not deal with issues relating to labour law. The labour law aspects have, moreover, been clarified by Parliament’s decision. I want to see a constructive Services Directive that clears away administrative rules and other barriers to trade. I also want the scope of the directive to be as broad as possible. I therefore voted in favour of areas such as private health care, temporary agencies and services of general economic interest being covered by the directive. Today's decision by Parliament is based partly on a broad compromise. Compromises are seldom perfect but are often necessary if the objective in question is to be achieved. I hope that the EU Member States are successful in taking a decision on the issue later this year so that we might make progress on this very important issue."@en1
