"Mr President, to achieve economic growth, we need a single market which works well, and for that it is essential to have the right legal environment. In many cases, we do have the legal instruments, but full use cannot be made of them because they are not being implemented by the Member States. An example of this is the Services Directive, which applies to services that account for 75% of the Union’s GDP. It’s potential is enormous. I think it is very important that the draft resolution refers to the transposition deficit, because I consider this to be the main problem when it comes to the incomplete functioning of the single market. It is important that the European Commission has been working on this, and last week it adopted a package concerning implementation of the Services Directive, noting that over the next five to 10 years, implementation of the directive will generate an additional amount in the region of 1% of the GDP of the entire EU, and if the Member States are more committed to the process of transposition, this will rise to as much as 2.5% of GDP. The Member States must therefore be ambitious in their approach concerning implementation of the directive, but must also concentrate on identifying areas where progress could still be made. This means, for example, that they should make sure no prohibited requirements are, in fact, being applied and, where possible, should remove requirements which are subject to evaluation. I have referred to transposition of the Services Directive, but this also concerns other areas, such as public procurement, for example, on which we are currently working. I welcome the fact that Parliament has taken up this matter in the resolution."@en1
