"Mr President, Commissioner, as co-rapporteur for the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment, it was with great attention and interest that I read the points where you feel the directive is indeed missing the mark. I would go so far as to say that we all, of course, want to construct an internal market, but this directive contains many tricky points. I am therefore delighted, Commissioner, that you have understood the criticism not only from my group, but also from across the entire spectrum of this House. I should nevertheless like a few additional clarifications, for – as my fellow Members have already pointed out – it is not always as clear how far you are willing to go with us.
I have two points to make, Commissioner. First of all, you claim that this directive’s scope is probably too wide and in your speaking notes for the Conference of Presidents you mention
public funded services of general interest. A moment ago, you mentioned only social services. Could you explain exactly what you mean? After all, services of general interest are far more comprehensive than just social services.
Secondly, it is not at all clear in which direction you would like to take the country of origin principle. Do you share our view that the country of origin principle can work only if there is a sufficient level of harmonisation and mutual recognition – if, in other words, there is a real basis for trust? Let me say, Commissioner, that I believe constructive cooperation to be a real option only if you more clearly clarify, for our benefit, exactly what you mean."@en1
