"The potential benefits deriving from the implementation of the Services Directive are incontrovertible. The activities covered by the directive account for 40% of gross domestic product (GDP) and jobs in the European Union. By implementing it correctly, we could unlock enormous economic potential, creating jobs and contributing to the economic recovery. The quality of the implementation of the directive by the Member States is just as essential as respecting the deadlines set for that purpose.
In the negotiations preceding the adoption of the directive, Parliament has already shown that it can play a crucial role. Consequently, I think that Parliament should provide monitoring of the process of implementation of the directive by Member States. European service providers must be able to offer their activities throughout the European Union, without being held back by bureaucratic hindrances. However, during the implementation phase, we must also be aware of other aspects, particularly the administrative costs that currently weigh down on Member States.
I agree with the rapporteur that the procedure for mutual evaluation introduced by the Council causes unnecessary bureaucratic burdens for Member States’ administrations at national, regional and local level. I hope that the potential advantages of these procedures are assessed as soon as possible, otherwise high bureaucratic costs will persist."@en1
