lpv:translated text	". Mr President, there is nothing wrong with wanting to reduce unjustified obstacles to the free movement of services in the internal market, provided that it is done in a responsible manner, ensuring that it does not undermine social and environmental rights, and moving towards the harmonisation of the legislation on services at European level. In its proposed form, however, this proposed directive leads to many risks, many of which have already been mentioned. In my capacity as draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, I shall refer specifically to those relating to the gender dimension. The risks to women relate basically to the creation of jobs for women and to women’s working conditions, as well as to their status as consumers of services. Firstly, the implementation of the directive in its current form would undoubtedly have negative effects on women’s employment, particularly in sectors in which the majority of the workforce are women. What is needed today, as has been said on several occasions, is greater investment in training and hence an increase in public spending and not, as this directive proposes, simply greater competition. It is also worrying that the Commission has not carried out an analysis of the social and employment impact, particularly in view of the effects we have seen in the case of previous liberalisations, which have led to the destruction of many jobs and have also often eroded social cohesion. Furthermore, the liberalisation of health and social services could lead to a deterioration of social welfare and health care cover in favour of private insurance, which would affect women in particular since they are the main consumers of these services. Finally, applying the principle of country of origin, which has been mentioned so often, to providers of services could lead to abuse and manipulation, since in fields that are not harmonised at European level, which are the majority, this principle would allow for the co-existence of several national systems and would also allow the possible juxtaposition of twenty-five different national sets of regulations, the effect of which would be that consumers would not know to whom, or when, they should complain."@en1
