lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should like to make a few short comments: There is a difference between the Court’s tasks and us as legislators. The Court has had its say. As legislators we must act now if we find that the Court has not interpreted the legislation as we would wish. In the report, we say that we, and the Commission, should take action. We should not exclude amendments to the Posting of Workers Directive, which is something that we also point out. There is no conflict between freedom of movement and good social conditions. Quite the contrary. A few words about the amendments proposed by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats. Unfortunately, they contain numerous contradictions where they seek compromises. On the one hand, they criticise one-sided opinions from the Council and, on the other, they welcome opinions. There are many contradictions in their amendments. I say ‘no’ to exemptions for certain special countries, because these are European problems that we should solve together. Different labour markets should operate side by side. We say ‘yes’ to the new Treaty, as the problems with the judgments occurred under the old Treaty. I am not saying ‘no’ to measures at national level. Such measures are necessary in Sweden and Germany, for example, but we also need measures at European level. Finally, I would like to say that it is now up to the Commission to act. If the Commission does not listen to Parliament and in particular to what people in Ireland, Germany, Sweden and other Member States are saying, the European project will suffer greatly. This is one of the most important issues for the citizens of Europe. Freedom of movement – yes, but good social conditions and no social dumping. We must work to achieve this, so Parliament must be listened to."@en1
