lpv:translated text	". I voted against the amendments to the Services Directive which sought to back away from introducing the country of origin principle. At the same time I support the amendments stressing the need not to allow a reduction in service quality, ensuring that consumer interests do not suffer and safety and health considerations are borne in mind. I believe that backing away from the country of origin principle will significantly affect the free movement of services in the EU, restricting the opportunities of businesses from the new Member States to compete freely on the EU market in the services sector. To put forward unjustified requirements for a services provider established in one EU Member State and to create unequal circumstances is not compatible with the principles of the EU internal market and cannot be permitted. The citizens of Latvia and also of the other new Member States believe that closing off the services sector in the older EU Member States, in practice, to our businesses and workers amounts to deception and reneging on promises which the EU gave to the new Member States in the accession process. The people of Latvia have paid too high a price for accession to the European Union. By fully opening its internal market to producers from the West, Latvia has destroyed its industry and agriculture. I believe that we must achieve agreement on a directive based on solidarity between the older and newer EU Member States and the principle of equal rights."@en1
