"The purpose of this report is to explain the state of play regarding the single market in services following implementation of the Services Directive, whilst bringing pressure to bear on those Member States that have not yet done so to effectively transpose the directive. As in 2006, we vehemently oppose this directive, as well as its transposition into national law. Transposition of this directive liberalising services could have serious implications for various countries, particularly those with weaker economies, such as Portugal. It constitutes bringing the market into ever more areas of social life, so threatening sectors where the Member States have traditionally played their social roles through public services. It constitutes yet another attack on aspects of civilisation we have achieved. Liberalisation will increase unemployment, poverty and social inequalities, and will only benefit major services companies and large companies, especially in the richest countries. We would argue that each country should continue to have the sovereign right to make decisions on the public services it wants, on its public property, on how it operates and organises itself, and on the rights of its workers and users. This is a fight that will continue against the attempt to transpose this directive into national law."@en1
