lpv:translated text	"I should first of all like to extend a warm welcome to Mr Schüssel. It would be fair to say that two themes will dominate the Austrian Presidency: the failed constitutional process and the services directive. To put it quite simply, the Dutch and French people have pronounced the Constitution dead; having been rejected by two Member States, it is no longer an issue, and the sooner the European Union can admit this, the sooner we can start the necessary reforms: reducing EU interference in matters of national responsibility, stopping the money wasting and fraud in Europe and carrying out a real democratisation process in the EU. As for the services directive, Austria is seeking a compromise between the different camps. If, however, it is the intention to strike a compromise between multinationals on the one hand and trade unions on the other, this will always result in a deterioration of the working conditions in Europe. Moreover, it will be impossible to compromise on the core of the proposal, namely the country-of-origin principle. Since my party and my group reject competition in the area of working conditions or social dumping as Europe’s future, we also reject the proposed directive. Europe did not want a Constitution; it does not want this services directive. The Austrian Presidency could end up in the history books as the first presidency to really listen to what the people want. If, however, a decision is made in favour of ramming a constitution and this services directive down people’s throats, then this will only strengthen the opposition to European cooperation."@en1
