lpv:translated text	"The existence of barriers in the European market in services leads to higher prices, restricted economic growth and fewer new jobs. Are lower growth, fewer jobs and higher prices really what Europeans want? I do not think so. Above all else, Europeans want more jobs. Why should politicians obstruct this? Certain self-styled defenders of working people want to emasculate the directive, and to render it toothless. It could be argued that these individuals are in favour of liberalising the services market or even against doing so. I certainly agree that the directive impacts on sensitive issues. We cannot bury our heads in the sand, however. I wonder if the directive's opponents have given careful consideration to competitiveness and the future of service providers, and whether they really do want a single market. There has been a lot of talk about equality, but it seems to be an Orwellian equality, just for those that are 'more equal'. There has also been talk of protecting social achievements, but this seems to mean protecting them in the rich countries only, not in the whole of Europe. Small and medium-sized enterprises create the most jobs. Services make the greatest contribution to Europe's GDP. Let us give entrepreneurs a chance. Let us give the 20 million unemployed Europeans a chance. Let us give the entrepreneurial spirit a chance. We have an opportunity to do good. We must not waste it. That is why we must vote against the amendments that would water down the directive, hamper its implementation and threaten the achievement of the desired results. Let us choose real freedom. We cannot allow national egoism and protectionism to harm Europe."@en1
