". Single market though there may have been since 1986, no actual common market has been achieved. Enlargement to include ten new countries will take us further away from that objective, and the 2013 deadline will be put back again. The difficulty is not so much that of managing to adopt a directive supported by everyone or by the majority, but that of producing a comprehensible document that can be put into practice. Given the number and significance of the details, there are ever more conflicts of interpretation and procedures to deal with violations. The strategy must be to reduce such conflicts, not to resolve them by legal force. Confronted by the economic and social realities, all that matters is the will and the capacity to apply the wordings. Rather than parade new ambitions, the Commission should have been pulled up for its ill will and bad faith when it comes to assessing the impact of the liberalisation of public services. With the standardisation of health services as its objective, the report explains that a safeguard clause might undermine uniformity. That is nothing if not proof of the dangers to which existing forms of cohesion are vulnerable and of the hostility that exists in principle to taking any account of diversity. We are, in practice, opposed to this report."@en1
