"In my opinion, the Services Directive is the most important document, which the European Parliament will adopt during this term. Why? Because it is a unique indicator of changes in European thinking. We will see if Europe is ready to establish the internal market, ready to liberalise it and legitimise the fundamental provision of the European Union. It is a pity that the declarations of the Lisbon Goals still fail to be matched with real actions. Fear of change, competition and fear of voter pressure still have an effect on the actions of politicians. There is no need to threaten people with the destruction of a social model; we must talk to them about reality and the changes that are necessary if Europe is to be competitive. Sooner or later we will liberalise the market, but a delay may be disastrous. And social welfare in the European Union is like water in connected flasks. At the moment, social welfare is available only across the entire European Economic Area. Compromises are possible and necessary to a certain degree. I believe that the country of origin principle should remain in essence. We really must trust one another."@en1
