lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome the Commissioner. It is great that she is here in what is going to be a vital debate that is actually one that is going to affect tens of millions of jobs in the European Union. The Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) has the potential to add GBP 20 billion to the annual GDP of the EU, and with services accounting for 70% of our EU economy. The UK is one of the biggest exporters of services in the world, and so my Member State has a keen interest in the advancement of talks at a plurilateral level. And we have managed to attract very broad support in the committee for this report, which shows that many of my fellow colleagues also understand the significance of this trade agreement. On the one hand, we must ensure that TiSA is an ambitious agreement that tackles the modern-day issues of the 21st century, such as trade in digital services and recognition of and help for the inclusion of small- and medium-sized enterprises in global supply chains. But, on the other hand, we must take on board public concerns about trade deals and their perceived threat, which is why the committee has included the language on the protection of public services such as the NHS and continuing to allow Member State governments to manage the services as they see fit. I am confident that this language is secure and offers the guarantees that people need. To conclude, I believe that this report offers a solid grounding of support from the European Parliament to the Commission for the advancement of the Trade in Services Agreement that I hope will open up market opportunities for European businesses within a rules-based system that we can then take on a multilateral level."@en1
