It is without enthusiasm that I am voting today in favour of the Services Directive. This text has been far too distorted and manipulated. Crucial provisions such as those on the posting of workers have disappeared, and I regret that.
We were told that these provisions have been removed in order to prevent social dumping, but there is no truth in that. Those provisions would have clarified the ground rules and controls within the European Union regarding businesses and workers. Equally, we very much celebrate and welcome the fact that the country of origin principle – which was accompanied with the necessary safeguards – has disappeared.
Yet, how can we, at the same time, look forward to taking a great step forward for the internal market? What do we offer our businesses and our citizens? Not, at any rate, the clear rules that they need in the internal market.
Too many lies and fears have marred the debates surrounding this matter, to the detriment of the internal market and the integration of our Europe.
With this directive, we have missed a great opportunity to integrate ourselves more. Let us learn lessons from it for the future and let us not make the same mistakes."@en1
