"Mr President, so much has been said today, but my hope is that whatever form of compromise we vote on Thursday, it will represent a step forward. I hope that it will underline and take forward the long-standing basic Treaty freedom to provide services, and that at last we will make this existing freedom more of a reality than it has been to date. However, let us learn one clear lesson for the future from all of this: a matter of such importance deserves thorough and long-standing preparation, particularly preparation of Europe’s public – the citizens we seek to represent and who in large number we seem to have managed to antagonise over this proposal.
Compare this with 1992: the years of preparation, the number of separate pieces of legislation, the final and general excitement to welcome the free market in goods. Contrast that with this present method: one far-reaching proposal for a directive literally dumped on the table at the end of the last mandate. This cannot be the way to do things. I hope indeed that we will learn the lesson for the future about communicating Europe. '"@en1
