lpv:translated text	". We still aim to overthrow the services directive. Today saw the adoption by this House, by 395 votes to 215, of a ‘compromise’, cobbled together by social democrats and conservatives, which can be described as more than disreputable. The social democrats had already made enough disgraceful concessions to the conservatives, but, just before the end, they made another one, the consequence of which was that the directive would continue to apply to ‘social policy’ and ‘consumer protection’, just as the freedom to provide services already did to ‘services of general economic interest’. This is quite utterly unacceptable. The text as adopted has ended up being not merely a licence for social dumping in Europe, but also a slap in the face for trade unionists, for campaigners for social justice, and for all those who, over recent days, weeks and months, have taken to the streets to express their opposition to the Bolkestein directive. The conduct of the German Social Democrats has been particularly shameful, in that they – unlike their French counterparts – were unswervingly loyal to the Bolkestein directive and sent their own natural supporters as lambs to the slaughter. Only now, though, is the fight against the European social dumping directive getting underway. Over the coming months, we will be mobilising still more opposition to the plans that the Commission, the governments and the anti-social Great Coalition have for Europe."@en1
