"Mr President, thank you for presenting the guidelines on the posting of workers. They certainly represent a further significant step towards the liberalisation of services.
The Commission’s document outlines the administrative barriers illegally imposed on firms posting their workers abroad for work purposes. It also contains examples of rulings by the European Court of Justice, which considers that such practices infringe the Treaty. Unfortunately, however, the document does not propose any effective ways of resolving the present situation.
The Commission has demonstrated quite clearly that it lacks the will to ensure compliance with Community law. Mere references to rulings by the Court of Justice are not enough. The barriers remain firmly in place in spite of the rulings, the Treaty and the Directive. Nothing has changed. More determined action is therefore called for, such as starting legal proceedings against those who have infringed the provisions. I fear that the proposal to prepare another report on progress achieved in eliminating barriers in a year’s time simply amounts to a further postponement of such action.
In conclusion, I should like to say how taken aback many Members of this House were on discovering that health services had been completely written out of the Commission’s opinion on the directive on services, even though the parliamentary vote showed a majority in favour of their inclusion."@en1
