lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in our modern societies effective communication services are crucial to the lives both of our businesses and of European citizens as a whole. From this point of view, the opening-up of the postal market represents a real challenge for this sector, at a time when technological developments and the economic crisis have weakened those companies that have historically transported postal items. Like many of my fellow Members, I am very attached to economic and social cohesion, and to territorial cohesion, of which these postal services ultimately form part. As Vice-Chair of the postal services intergroup, I am conscious of the fears that exist with regard to the future of services of general economic interest: indeed, around 100 postal workers demonstrated yesterday in Strasbourg. In my view, it is crucial to ensure that the postal market is not opened up at the expense of working conditions and quality of service. The aim of the 2008 directive is to guarantee a quality service at competitive prices and to create jobs. To achieve this aim, the law must be scrupulously applied, in particular with regard to universal service obligations. Furthermore, postal service providers must evolve by diversifying their activities and, at the same time, their sources of income. Commissioner, we are counting on the European Commission to be vigilant and to closely monitor developments in this economic sector. You have successfully carried out a major structural reform in the field of monetary policy coordination, of financial supervision. I am certain that you will be able to involve every single one of us so that we can press ahead with this important reform."@en1
