Den ligevægt, vi er nået frem til takket være det arbejde, Evelyne Gebhardt, Malcolm Harbour, Anne Van Lancker, Marianne Thyssen og flere andre har udført, sikrer de enkelte stater kontrol med de ydelser, der leveres til borgerne, og forhindrer forskelsbehandling.
I would encourage you to vote in favour of the compromise drawn up by Mrs Gebhardt and Mr Harbour, which opens up the internal market in services, whilst avoiding brutal and unfair competition and protecting the right of every state to defend its social model and its public services without discrimination.
