lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Posting of Workers Directive is one of the foundations on which the practical implementation of one of the four basic Community freedoms, which are European freedoms, is based and which has accompanied treaties and the European Community right from the start. Article 49 of the Treaty is one of the most clearly formulated regulations governing the internal affairs of the European Union, and it states unambiguously that restrictions on freedom to provide services within the Community shall be prohibited in respect of nationals of Member States who are established in a State of the Community other than that of the person for whom the services are intended. The persistent practices found in many Member States aimed at administrative restriction of this freedom, which is guaranteed in the Treaty, are therefore surprising. Since being elected to this Parliament, I have received a flow of complaints from businesspeople originating mainly from the new Member States that acceded to the EU after 2004, against the activities of local and regional authorities that wilfully impose on these businesspeople additional requirements that are not justified in the least by any EU legal act. I have raised this issue on many occasions in this House, demanding an unambiguous statement from the European Commission on behalf of EU law, and consequently in defence of the freedom to provide services. I am pleased that my efforts have received such a clear confirmation in the ruling of the European Court of Justice that we are discussing today. I am convinced that in the light of recent Court verdicts we – that is, Parliament and the European Commission together – will be able to draw up a formula for the organisation of an internal services market that, while ensuring the fundamental rights of employees, ensuring those rights – those fundamental rights – will not impose extra burdens on EU businesspeople that will hamper their activities and that are by definition – as the Court’s rulings state – in breach of European law. A free market for services and employee mobility should be supported, not fought. These are the challenges of the 21st century."@en1
