lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the compromise that we have before us and on which we are to vote on Thursday is a services directive quite different from the Bolkestein Directive. I can therefore say to Mr Bonde that the thousands of honourable trade unionists demonstrating outside Parliament today support the compromise arrived at in this Chamber. Mr Bonde needs only to read the press statement by John Monks, General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation, to know that this is so. I have to say, too, that I am in no doubt as to why they support it. I have myself been involved in moving things in that direction. Agreements and labour legislation will be decided on by individual countries and individual trade union movements. This arrangement will provide more jobs. The public sector will be safeguarded, and we shall have avoided a split between the new and the old Member States. On Thursday, we shall be voting on a balanced opening-up of the internal market. I have said for a long time that the European Union must not develop into a form of competition between states. That is something we have avoided by means of the compromise now before us. We shall now obtain competition on fair and transparent conditions, and we shall obtain protection of those interests that serve the public and the individual citizen in the public sector as variously manifested in our societies. I think that what we have here is an important compromise, and I also think that it represents a crucial developmental trend on which we must build further, irrespective of whether we are talking about the Working Time Directive or the many other matters we have to tackle. In my capacity, too, as President of the Party of European Socialists, I can therefore recommend the compromise now before us. It will definitely move us in the right direction."@en1
