"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in our opinion, it is imperative that the final text that we must arrive at fully preserves the balance achieved by the Members of our Parliament. If we must adopt a directive on the free movement of services, because doing so is a real necessity, then it will not be at any price. The Commission’s original draft was a clumsy text, ill conceived and unwise. Parliament has now completely revised this text, thus making it possible to complete the internal market while at the same time preserving our social model. We are grateful to you, Commissioner, for resisting the temptations and we suggest that you join with the European Parliament in working out a compromise. Henceforth, the ball is in the court of the Council, and we expect it to act as a responsible co-legislator. The Services Directive is now a structure balancing on pillars of equal importance to us. Calling one or other of them into question would be liable to bring down the whole structure. The Council, therefore, cannot ignore the political message that we have given it. Commissioner, Parliament’s vote on services has shown the way. Our fellow citizens would not understand if we were to backtrack."@en1
