The latter will follow on from further increases in the labour market participation of women and older people, from more, and more efficient, investment in human capital and lifelong learning, sharing the related costs and responsibilities between public authorities, companies and individuals, and from the support of public spending in areas such as education and health and social services."

(3) Jelikož jsou služby hnací silou hospodářského růstu a ve většině členských státech se podílejí 70 % na HNP a zaměstnanosti, má roztříštěnost vnitřního trhu negativní dopad na celé evropské hospodářství, zejména na konkurenceschopnost MSP, a brání spotřebitelům v přístupu k širší škále služeb za konkurenční ceny.
(3) Since services constitute the engine of economic growth and account for 70% of GDP and employment in the majority of Member States, this fragmentation of the internal market has a negative impact on the entire European economy, in particular on the competitiveness of SMEs, and prevents consumers from gaining access to a greater variety of competitively priced services.
Evropský parlament a Rada zdůraznily, že odstranění právních překážek pro vytváření skutečného vnitřního trhu je prioritou pro dosažení cíle vytyčeného Evropskou radou v Lisabonu učinit z Evropské unie do roku 2010 nejkonkurenceschopnější a nejdynamičtější ekonomiku založenou na znalostech na světě.
The European Parliament and the Council have emphasised that the removal of legal barriers to the establishment of a genuine internal market is a matter of priority for achieving the goal set by the Lisbon European Council of making the European Union the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010.
Odstranění těchto překážek je základní podmínkou pro oživení evropského hospodářství, zejména pokud jde o zaměstnanost a investice.
Removing those barriers is essential in order to revive the European economy, particularly in terms of employment and investment.
Je důležité zdůraznit, že odvětví služeb je klíčovým odvětvím zaměstnanosti zejména žen, a že by tudíž ženy mohly mít velký prospěch z příležitostí, které nabízí dokončení vnitřního trhu pro služby.
It is important to point out that the services sector is a key employment sector for women in particular, and that they therefore stand to benefit greatly from new opportunities offered by the completion of the internal market for services.
Mnoho žen na evropském pracovním trhu je zaměstnáno v sektoru služeb, a proto je důležité zajistit konkurenceschopný trh služeb v EU.
Many women on the European labour market are employed in the service sector and therefore it is essential to ensure a competitive services market in the EU.
V současné době široká škála bariér na vnitřním trhu zabraňuje mnoha poskytovatelům služeb v podnikání přes hranice států.
At present, a wide range of internal market barriers prevent many service providers from carrying on their business across national borders.
Toto nejen narušuje konkurenceschopnost uvnitř Evropy i mimo ni, ale taktéž zabraňuje vytváření nových pracovních míst v Evropě, především pro ženy .
Not only does this undermine competitiveness within and outside Europe, it also prevents the creation of new jobs in Europe, especially for women .
Proto by měl být kladen zvláštní zřetel na to, aby v důsledku této směrnice nedošlo ke snížení úrovně platů, sociálních práv a práv zaměstnance těchto žen.
There should therefore be a particular focus on avoiding the lowering of the level of pay, social rights and employment rights of these women as a consequence of this Directive.
