"The purpose of this report is to assess the state of 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 actually transpose the directive. We would re-emphasise that we reject this directive, and we maintain our opposition to the unacceptable pressure being brought to bear on the Member States to transpose it into national law. The transposition of this directive liberalising services could have serious implications for various countries, particularly those with weaker social situations, thus exacerbating the crisis that we are currently experiencing, not least in Portugal. Despite all the care that has been taken in the various Member States, if measures are not taken immediately to defend social and labour rights and to protect weaker sectors, including public services, we may have even more serious problems. Liberalisation could increase unemployment, poverty and social inequality in the weakest Member States, and will only benefit major services companies and big business, especially in the richest countries. Each country should continue to have the sovereign right to make decisions on what services it wants, including on its public services, on its public property, on how it operates and organises itself, and on the rights of its workers and users."@en1
