"Mr President, I should like to begin by congratulating Mr Hasse Ferreira on the quality of his report and on the crucial points that it contains. I should also like to recall how the people of Europe joined forces, a year ago, when the vote was held on the Services Directive. Their action led to the text being developed and to our institutions changing position in terms of their willingness to liberalise all services, irrespective of the missions and needs that they represent.
We now need to echo these citizens’ opinions and the values that they hold dear and that we share and to which our rapporteur is giving substance. The tasks fulfilled by SSGIs serve human rights, human dignity, the general interest and social cohesion and, hence, are fully in line with the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Refusing to acknowledge that and perpetuating the confusion between the notions of economic service and market service, as the Commission is doing, means giving up on Europe’s special social quality and on what it represents for millions of Europeans. Specific legislation is required in order to ensure that people’s right to these services is respected and that they are indeed carried out."@en1
