lpv:translated text	"Mr President, every now and then one of the dozens of decisions taken by the European Parliament stands out as vital to the future of the European Union. This is true of the Services Directive. It was intended as a way of implementing the principles of the four European freedoms. It is supposed to ensure that there will be no discrimination regarding the provision of services anywhere in the European Union. National origin is to be irrelevant, and the citizens of the old and new Member States are to be treated according to the same principles. Implementation of the directive will promote economic growth and make the European social model more widespread. Implementing economic freedom strengthens the social dimension of Europe rather than weakening it. Compromise solutions are clearly an essential aspect of Parliament’s work. That is also true in this case, and we should strive for compromise despite our differences of opinion. Nonetheless, there are limits beyond which the Services Directive would become meaningless. I believe it is rational not to surrender to mercantilism the areas where market logic does not operate. I also believe the statement that the directive does not affect labour law is justified. I do not, however, see any reason to include exemptions from the scope of the directive when they are unjustified and have no clear legal basis. It seems to me that clear legislation is essential in matters of such strategic importance. What is required is a rational decision with a bearing on the future. The spectres of Frankenstein and the Polish plumber should disappear from European consciousness and be replaced by trust, freedom and solidarity."@en1
