". I wished to vote in favour of the compromise drawn up by Mr Ferber because it improves on certain points of the European Commission’s initial proposal. It gives Europe’s post offices extra time in which to prepare to open up to competition, an event that has been pushed back to 1 January 2011 instead of 2009, as the Commission initially planned. I also supported the compromise because it will protect the terms and conditions under which post office employees work. Market liberalisation cannot take place at the expense of workers, even if liberalisation benefits consumers. Our vote also provides guarantees in relation to territorial cohesion. All users are in fact guaranteed to be able to have their post collected and distributed throughout the European Union at least five days a week. Nevertheless, there remains a major difficulty, which will be the issue at stake at second reading. I am referring to the funding of the universal service. We need to have funding mechanisms that are legally secure and permanent. That is an essential precondition for the economic operators of the sector, a precondition without which I will be unable to commit myself to the total liberalisation of the sector."@en1
