lpv:translated text	"( ) A commercial television station in the Union told us today that EU workers are protesting against the Services Directive. The report forgot to add that these are workers only from the old Member States, whereas workers in the new Member States, second-class citizens in the EU, want the Directive. Czechs, like others from the new Member States, cannot freely work in Germany and elsewhere. What is truly laughable is the fact that we eat subsidised food from the west and we buy western goods that cross our borders freely and without import taxes. The key article is Article 16, which in the wording of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection carefully acknowledges that providers may come under the regulations of their country of origin, has fallen victim to a compromise between the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament. This is not a compromise, however, so much as a castration of the entire Directive. Buck-passing is no way to operate a law by which providers are to be regulated, as it places them in an uncertain legal position. It may involve only a non-binding declaration, but there is extensive reference to public interest as a ground for restricting the activities of service providers. This throws the entire text into confusion, because subparagraph 1 indicates that it should be the law of the country of destination that directly applies, while subparagraph 3 can be construed as stating that it is the law of the country of origin. If we are to delay exposing our economy even to internal competition within the framework of the EU, how can we expect to compete with the outside world? If we fail to make use of the rapidly developing new Member States to force the pace for greater efficiency in the workplace, we will be depriving ourselves of one of the greatest benefits of Union enlargement."@en1
