"Mr President, as many Members have pointed out, the European Commission’s initial proposal is socially dangerous, badly drafted and legally complicated. In short, it is exactly the opposite of a sound piece of legislation, that is to say of one that is beneficial to the European project and to Europeans.
We, in this Chamber, represent the citizens. There were many tens of thousands of them this afternoon in the streets of Strasbourg. I believe that the demonstration was a healthy exercise in democracy in which the shadow rapporteurs and the rapporteurs took part with the aim of rejecting the directive as it stands and of proposing some substantial changes to its content.
The Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance obviously wants a European market in services, but is categorically opposed to its being governed by competition between national laws, which is what the country of origin principle implies and which, in fact, would result in downwards harmonisation. That is why we will vote in favour of the proposal. We have, moreover, tabled some amendments that break with the country of origin principle and that exclude services of general economic interest from the scope of the directive."@en1
