"I voted against this motion for a resolution because I cannot accept that the single market can be depicted as Europe’s finest achievement, which should only have brought about benefits for all. The reality is unfortunately very different, and the single market has often only helped large multinational companies expand their turnovers; conversely, for other sectors such as goods and services the rules imposed by Brussels have brought about few advantages and many problems. I refer in particular to the hundreds of very small businesses – often run by families – working in the sector of seaside establishments who are still under threat due to implementation of the infamous ‘Services Directive’, which we alone have opposed ever since it was adopted. Other groups, such as itinerant market traders, have had the same problems. All that leads me to say that the single market may perhaps have created some benefits, but there are still many critical issues and problems to be resolved."@en1
