"This report, drafted by Ms Handzlik, concerns the mutual evaluation process for the Services Directive. The purpose of this directive, adopted in 2006, is to make the single market in services work better. Although we believe that this directive is one of the best in recent years, the fact is that two years down the line, few Member States have implemented it. Hence, the importance of this report and the need to move forward, not only with actions to improve it on the basis of the assessment, but also with its extension to other policy areas. The fact is that nine in every 10 jobs in the EU are in the services sector, so implementation of the directive should be mandatory, although it requires monitoring by the Commission and the Member States to ensure its correct implementation and respect for the freedom to provide services set out in Article 16. I welcome the adoption of this report and hope that all the Member States will implement the Services Directive, as well as creating effective Points of Single Contact, as this is a key instrument in the functioning of a single market in services."@en1
