lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this is a crucial debate for Europe’s future, which resonates in the economic, social and political spheres. The compromise solution obtained between the main political groups strikes me as a well-balanced one. It is vital that the application of the country of origin principle, temporary work in the areas of health, other social areas, services of general interest, and lotteries be removed. It is also vital that the criteria relating to the services of general interest be made abundantly clear, completely removed or set out by each individual Member State. As in this compromise, I naturally wish to highlight the importance of not interfering with the directive on the posting of workers. Ladies and gentlemen, whilst it is necessary to press ahead with building the internal market, it is no less important to guarantee fair competition in all Member States, not by fomenting social inequality, and certainly not by distorting labour markets or by dismantling labour relations, but by cutting through red tape and by breaking down unjustifiable technical barriers. Although this process of establishing the internal market in services is very important for Europe’s economic development, the rules ensuring European social cohesion must be complied with. If this did not happen with the initial version of the directive, we can now, as Members of this House, adopt a text that will make a balanced and lucid contribution to the creation of a genuine European market in services that will, at the same time, guarantee social cohesion. To this end, clarity and courage are of the essence."@en1
