lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mrs in 't Veld, Commissioner, the Commission is continually telling us that it cannot put forward a framework directive on services of general interest because the issue is apparently too broad and is covered by the subsidiarity principle. With this ‘Monti package’ and the proposal for a directive on services, however, the Commission is dealing with the issue of public services. With one small stroke after another, it is painting a sort of Impressionist picture representing its own vision of public services. Unfortunately, Mr Barroso is no Manet or Renoir. According to this picture, any financing of public services is necessarily State aid, and thus by implication contravenes the principle of free and fair competition, an aberration that must be stamped out. The right of this Parliament goes even further, moreover: Mrs in 't Veld's report rejects the Commission's proposal to exempt the social housing and hospital sectors from the notification requirement. Similarly, if Parliament assents to the requirement for a tendering process prior to any award of public service compensation, it will weaken all the small local public services that are directly and indirectly managed by the public authorities. In conclusion, we are observing, following the dismantling of the great national public services, the weakening of local public services. This report is in fact deceptive: it claims to make consumers happier, while eroding their citizen's rights with regard to public services. This weekend, the Portuguese electorate showed their displeasure at this to their former Prime Minister, Mr Barroso."@en1
