"Mr President, the fact that the European market is big does not necessarily mean it is effective; it must provide opportunities for growth, opportunities for employment and the potential for social cohesion and must be of a high and competitive international standard.
Our experience tells us that free competition helps in this direction, and that competition, as a market
must take account, if it is to have the anticipated positive results, of actual economic, social and territorial conditions.
The rapporteur, Mr Markus Ferber, has managed – and I thank him for that – to combine these parameters, which is quite a feat on a subject such as postal services, which is not simply an economic activity, but is connected with the tradition and everyday life of European citizens and with the image they have of the efficacy of their country.
I consider it important that, at the heart of our work, our core ambition should be to safeguard an efficient and viable universal service and I support the amendment tabled by Mrs Barsi-Pataky and other honourable Members, including myself, to retain proper preparation of the application of free competition, so that today’s directive can be applied up to liberalisation and can safeguard incoming, outgoing and advertising mail."@en1
