lpv:translated text	". Mr President, allow me first of all to thank Mrs Schroedter for the extensive and excellent work she has done in drafting this report, and especially for her efforts to secure the broadest possible consensus on a text that is important for a variety of reasons. She has also pointed out the useful work done by a large majority of Members of this Parliament during the debate and the vote on the Draft Services Directive. It was useful because, in voting in favour of crucial amendments guaranteeing absolute respect for the competences and subjects covered by the Posted Workers Directive, Parliament safeguarded the vital role that this directive must play at a time when we, in the Union of 25, are witnessing and are going to witness a large increase in the provision of services, as well as a rise in worker mobility. The text also safeguarded – and I believe that this was the unanimous opinion of the members of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs – our powers over the subjects that are rightfully ours. A directive that has been understood properly, applied properly and that has properly controlled effects should ensure that the right balance is struck between fair competition and guaranteed respect for workers’ rights. The ground rules must be strict and fair regarding this issue. They must also guarantee transparency and security for workers, in terms of both service provision and freedom of movement. For a directive to be understood properly there needs to be a major effort in terms of providing explanations and information and of simplifying administrative matters. A directive that has been applied properly must clearly ensure that the right to free movement and the principles of equal treatment are respected and must pursue objectives relating to the harmonisation of working conditions and of social systems. A directive with properly controlled effects is a major tool in the fight against the anti-European feelings that may be stirred up by the presence in the population of workers who are treated as mere commodities moved about at will and exploited under the most abject conditions."@en1
