lpv:translated text	". The adoption of this directive, which has just taken place, is an extremely worrying development. We are bitterly disappointed at the rejection of the proposal to reject the Council common position that our group tabled and to which we put our name. What happened today was tantamount to a capitulation, on the part of the two biggest groups in Parliament, the Socialist Group in the European Parliament and the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, in relation to their positions at first reading last February. They did nothing to promote the agreement that they had made and voted for, following the protests and demonstrations in Strasbourg. They have now returned to some of the most damaging aspects of the original, notorious Bolkestein Directive. What they are seeking is the liberalisation of services, including in the area of public services, thereby caving in to pressure from the large economic and financial groups, which have seen this ‘step’ as a fresh opportunity to exploit the workers and for economic domination. Not only will it undermine the sovereign right of States to define, protect and fund public services, it will also remove their ability to define funding standards and to protect services as a whole. In so doing, it will strengthen the power of supranational bodies such as the Commission. We believe that each country should continue to have the sovereign right to make decisions on the public services they want, their public property, their form of funding and organisation, and on the rights of workers and end users."@en1
