lpv:translated text	"A spirit of protectionism and economic nationalism is becoming entrenched in certain countries of the Community. This hinders international trade and the free movement of capital and labour. Protectionists have a negative attitude not only towards competition from Asia but also towards any source of foreign competition. This is a short-sighted attitude. We all know that competition is an engine of economic progress, whereas exclusion leads to economic and social decline. Putting artificial bureaucratic obstacles in the way of implementation and application of the Posting of Workers Directive is one of the manifestations of protectionism. This situation harms not only our own interests, but also those of the entire Community and infringes its citizens’ fundamental rights; first and foremost, the freedom to provide services and freedom of establishment. These rights are embodied in the EC Treaty and in the Posting of Workers Directive, but are being ignored by the Member States. Such behaviour undermines our Community. I will be voting for the elimination of bureaucratic obstacles so that national borders do not hinder business development in the Community and people are free to choose where they wish to work. They must also be sure of not being exploited or discriminated against when working abroad."@en1
