lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank the Commissioner for his presentation, and I welcome the fact that he emphasises the importance of greater cooperation between the Member States and the responsibility Member States have for implementing the Posting of Workers Directive correctly. I think it may be justified in this debate to emphasise one thing, and that is that since 2004 we have seen rapid change in the European labour market. We have gained increased mobility. It is important to say that the various horror scenarios which were spread at the time regarding the consequences of increased mobility have proved to be false. There was talk of welfare tourism and countless other problems. In fact today there are Europeans posted in different countries. Also it is the Member States where we have seen the greatest openness which have also seen the best labour market development and pay setting. The Posting of Workers Directive has helped to ensure better opportunities for individuals and has also contributed towards the European economy and a European labour market. people! We must remember this when discussing the three different court cases. This is because once the court has issued its judgment, we see that it is a question of different situations in different cases. What is also important, however, is that there is nothing in this to say that there are no barriers to different kinds of industrial action in the different Member States. There is nothing in the court judgments which means that they conflict with different types of collective agreements or other pay-setting arrangements. On the other hand, the Member State must have legislation and society must function, in order to permit and encourage mobility. It is in this context that I also think it is important that we now develop better cooperation, and that the different Member States make sure that they implement and evaluate this so as to combine mobility with social security and stability for everyone in Europe. We must not blame the EU for the problems which exist. Instead we must take responsibility in the different Member States, and we must welcome the increased mobility and the wellbeing which can be seen as an opportunity provided by the Posting of Workers Directive."@en1
