lpv:translated text	"It is well known that many workers from EU Member States, such as Portugal, continue to suffer discrimination when they go to work in other countries that are also EU Member States, but where people earn higher salaries. According to the directive on the posting of workers, the host country is solely responsible for ensuring the protection and the rights of posted workers. To this end, the country concerned is required to adopt measures to prevent minimum standards from being circumvented. This gives rise to genuine discrimination affecting all workers, both the posted workers and those from the host country. Reality has shown us that this directive is ignored on many sides, despite countless complaints, either by Parliament, or in reports of specific cases, such as we have issued on a number of occasions. There are still examples of non-compliance that need to be resolved, and we accordingly do not accept the Commission’s proposal to restrict in certain important areas the minimum requirements imposed by the Member States on businesses, which followed on from the proposed directive on the creation of an internal market for services. Consequently, whilst we support the report, we must express our disappointment at the pressure exerted, and the proposals put forward, by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, following their attempts to block clarification of important aspects of the implementation of the directive. They tabled various amendments, for example, aimed at removing points in the report before us, with the attempts at removing Amendment 13 and parts of Amendments 26 and 29 from the report being of particular concern. As far as we are concerned, we want the rapporteur’s work to stand and would urge the Chamber to adopt a number of other proposals aimed at enforcing the directive."@en1
