"Madam President, when I read the title of the debate, ‘External impact of EU trade and investment policy’, I first expected that we would be talking about the negative impact the EU can have across the world, where our trade policies can impact on the poorest nations. While we help with one hand, we stamp down with our foot at the same time.
Then I read through the report and saw that it is all about public-private partnerships. The danger is that, as the experience in the UK shows, they often cannot work, as we have seen in the British NHS. We can see them combine the worst of both worlds, where we get all the inefficiency of the public sector combined with the narrow profit focus of the private sector. We need to remember that there are dangers with this approach and that we need to be relatively cautious.
Nevertheless, I would commend the rapporteur specifically on the point that he recognises that these are decisions which must be taken sovereignly by the Member States themselves."@en1
