". I voted in favour of the amendment aimed at rejecting the Council common position on the Services Directive. The directive is unsatisfactory because it introduces more confusion and legal uncertainty and further weakens the amended proposal adopted by the European Parliament at first reading, which I voted against. This is particularly the case as regards labour law and the social and public services that have been excluded from the scope of the Services Directive. Above all, however, the Council text gives the Commission the power to oversee the application of the directive. While the country of origin concept has disappeared from the text in the text amended by the Commission, it has not been replaced by the country of destination or host country concept. I find this very harmful, all the more so because it will be the European Court of Justice that settles any disputes that may ensue. It is therefore a liberal Services Directive that has been adopted this 15 November. Three years of debates will not have made it possible to avoid a conclusion with dangerous consequences for political and social Europe. This is a harsh blow to European integration – one that it scarcely needed."@en1
