lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, having reached the common position, we must welcome the fact that Parliament’s first democratic expression has led to a situation where the Commission and the Council are upholding some of its proposals, such as the special services, the gradual opening up of the market with a review by Parliament in 2009, and even the keeping of direct mail within the public service sector. We must, however, note that two things are lacking today and we are dealing with one of those rare liberalisation directives which makes no specific mention of them. The first thing is the financing of universal service. As soon as exclusive rights and the reserved sector are opened up and inevitably become smaller, we no longer know how universal postal service will be financed. And this is no small matter. The second point is the conditions of network access. Do we know whether the networks of the French postal system are available to the German postal system and its major competitors and ? This is also one of those rare liberalisation directives which fails to specify this aspect in a detailed manner. I would like to express my regret that the Commission and also Parliament did not want to thoroughly debate these issues. The Commission says it wants transparency across the board and yet, it is refusing to undertake an evaluation of what has been happening, particularly in Sweden and in Holland, where a scaled-down market has registered an increase in prices for the ordinary consumer. The Commission refuses to accept the truth about these costs and the truth is that providing a service to everyone in Greece is not the same thing as providing a service in the Netherlands. In short, they have demonised the debate and pretended that conciliation is a bad thing. I think that we could have seen this debate through to the end in order to achieve a more balanced position."@en1
