"Mr President, Commissioner, it is clear that this directive on services is of importance to the services market in Europe, but it is therefore necessary to divest it of everything that needs to be changed and there are many fundamental aspects that need to be changed.
First and foremost, clarification must be given as regards which services it applies to. You have just said that health services should remain outside it and I believe that there are health services that should be subject to market forces and that service providers from any of the Member States should compete for those services. Yet I also believe that if services of general interest were to remain outside, we would have to define what those services are. Is the Commission prepared to table a framework-law, in time, which could be taken into account when we look into the directive?
Another aspect to mention is that of country of origin. This obviously must be changed. It can be applied to company constitutions and to the beginning of operations, but as a basic principle it must be changed.
Given that there are fundamental changes to be made, I should like to ask you, Commissioner, if it would not be better to withdraw this directive in its current form, and for the Commission, as the author of these initiatives, to table a more appropriate proposal to serve the Union’s interests effectively?"@en1
