"The implementation of the Services Directive is a significant step towards a better functioning of the Single Market for services. However, I believe that we still have tasks ahead of us. The key findings of the mutual evaluation demonstrate that the Commission needs to take further steps to enable the European economy to fully benefit from the potential of the Single Market for services.
In order to get a realistic and useful overview of the functioning of the internal market for services through the performance check, it will be necessary to take account of EU instruments beyond the Services Directive. It is welcome that the Commission has taken a similar position and the performance check will therefore not be an abstract thing, but will be conducted on the basis of concrete sectors and activities which illustrate how the Single Market works and in what areas problems remain.
In view of the often cross-cutting nature of the barriers in the services sector and the legislative instruments applicable to it, the performance check is also useful to identify issues of a horizontal nature.
It should be emphasised that the performance check should, in all cases, allow the formulation of sector-specific conclusions on the functioning of the Single Market for services and, where necessary, identify the need for other actions, including legislative intervention if required.
Lastly, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur and thank her for her comprehensive work and openness. I believe that this work has resulted in an excellent report."@en1
