"The task of European Commissioner is both exciting and difficult because, understandably, I am expected to ensure that this Services Directive, which, as I have said, covers 40% of GDP, realises its full potential, in order to facilitate the development of the service economy in Europe, but also to resolve the problems that crop up in this or that country when efforts are made to do so.
Mr Morganti, I am aware of the sensitive matter of beach concessions. Our legal analysis of this directive – which has not been called the Bolkestein Directive for a long time now, and which was considerably enhanced by Parliament and indeed adopted by a large majority of its Members – under European law leads me to say that the renewal of these beach concessions cannot be agreed without an invitation to tender. Therein lies the problem. I well understand the difficulty that this poses for small concessions, but we have to prevent large enterprises or large companies from having some sort of monopoly. I am engaged in constructive dialogue with the Italian authorities on this issue, Mr Morganti. We will demonstrate the utmost pragmatism and the greatest flexibility within the framework of respect for European law. That is what I am able to tell you. I am engaged in constructive dialogue with the Italian authorities on this issue."@en1
