"The Services Directive will not lead, in any way, to deregulation or liberalisation of the services sector, as indicated by some speculation. Its purpose is to ensure access to national markets in such a way that arbitrary barriers are phased out and any rules which are maintained in Member States are proportionate and non-discriminatory. The directive explicitly states that neither employment law nor employees’ rights will be affected by these legislative provisions. Parliament even insisted on this point when presenting its view to the Council.
Article 16 states that no Member State is prevented from imposing requirements with regard to the provision of a service activity, where they are justified for reasons of public policy, public security, public health or the protection of the environment.
Implementation of the directive is being delayed in some Member States, but this is due, in particular, to the different ways of interpreting it. This is why it is important for the directive’s area of application to be clearly and transparently defined. There is a need not only to draw a clear distinction between the services coming under this directive and services of general interest, but also to safeguard services of general economic interest by means of a legislative framework with this in mind."@en1
