Endelig skal Kommissionen fem år efter direktivets ikrafttræden vurdere, hvorvidt princippet om fri levering af tjenesteydelser virker i praksis, og hvorvidt der er behov for yderligere harmonisering på området.
The distinction between services of general interest or SGI (which were not included in the Commission proposal) and services of general economic interest or SGEI (which were covered by the Commission proposal) has been the main bone of contention.
Den nye tekst anvender ikke længere begreberne "oprindelsesland" og "bestemmelsesland".
At the committee vote, Members of the EPP-ED and ALDE groups opposed any global exclusion of services of general economic interest such as postal services, the distribution of electricity, gas and water and waste collection but also social services where these are of an economic or commercial nature.
Med hensyn til anvendelsesområdet drejer diskussionen sig primært om, hvorvidt de sociale tjenesteydelser skal undtages.
Discussion has now come to focus on social services, which could finally be excluded from the scope of the directive following the plenary vote if the EPP-ED and PES groups can agree on a definition.
Kompromisforslaget lægger op til en undtagelse for de ydelser, der leveres i hjemmet, f.eks. hjemmeplejen.
The compromise provides for domestic social services (e.g. for elderly people) to be excluded.
Efter afstemningen går servicedirektivet videre til Rådet, som kan vælge at acceptere EP's ændringsforslag, hvorved direktivforslaget er endeligt vedtaget.
After the plenary vote, it will be up to the Council of Ministers, as joint legislator with Parliament, to decide its position on the directive and the amendments adopted by MEPs.
I modsat fald går forslaget med Rådets ændringsforslag tilbage til andenbehandling i Parlamentet.
If all Parliament's amendments are acceptable to the Council, the legislation will be adopted in its modified form.

Servicedirektivet: De lokale færdselsregler skal følges
Parliament debates the Services Directive ahead of important vote
Ordføreren, Evelyne GEBHARDT, slog fast, at en servicevirksomhed, der udbyder sine tjenesteydelser i en anden medlemsstat, skal følge dennes regler.
It was, she said, good that the Commission had made proposals in this area, but these had been so unsuccessful as to give the impression that the interests of the ' old ' EU15 states were being played off against the ' new ' EU10.
"Man følger jo også de lokale færdselsregler, når man kører bil", sagde hun.
In fact, she said, all Member States have the same rights and obligations - the EU should serve the welfare of all 450m citizens. "
Det er af afgørende betydning, at tjenesteydelser kan bevæge sig frit over grænserne ligesom kapital, varer og arbejdskraft, sagde hun.
Despite the ideological differences, she urged the plenary to take decisive steps for the Directive without too much red tape, which respects the special features of each Member State, with no downward spiral of wages and working standards and environmental protection. "
Samtidig understregede hun, at der skal gælde fælles spilleregler for de gamle og de nye medlemsstater.
We needed to get away from the devastating form of the Country of Origin principle.
Hun ønskede ligeledes at sætte fokus på arbejdstagerne, ikke på de store virksomheder.
I proposed a simple answer that it should be legal to provide services applying the rules of the country of destination ," she said.
Efter hendes mening skal grundreglen være, at en servicevirksomhed frit skal kunne udbyde sine tjenesteydelser i en anden medlemsstat, men at det så skal ske efter denne medlemsstats regler.
It should apply only to proper marketable commercial applications, but nor should it trample or underfoot people setting up businesses, she said.
"Sådan er det jo også når man kører bil, man skal følge de lokale færdselsregler" , fastslog hun.
The original proposal had been turned on its head and could now be adopted. "
Direktivet må ikke svække den europæiske model
We can adopt legislation for liberalised services which also works towards a social Europe.
Han vurderede, at det opsplittede marked for tjenesteydelser ikke er til glæde for nogen i det lange løb.
Legal and bureaucratic barriers split the market, leading to higher prices, less competition in interests of consumers, and a failure to create jobs ," he said.
Samtidig understregede han, at et solidt flertal i Europa-Parlamentet vil være et godt grundlag for det videre arbejde.
The Presidency will work closely for a balanced directive, which takes account of peoples' concerns, but which lays the basis for well functioning market in services ," he said.
Derfor ønskede han, at det vil være muligt at skabe overensstemmelse mellem EP, Rådet og Kommissionen.
Mr Barroso said " a lot of work has still to be done for Europe to fully enjoy the fundamental freedoms enshrined in the Treaties ".
Han erkendte, at servicedirektivet har ført til uro i nogle medlemsstater, og at det er nødvendigt at imødekomme borgernes frygt.
The Directive would be a test to see if the EU-25 was able to find solutions to difficult issues which are particularly sensitive to public opinion. "
Man glemmer ofte fordelene ved servicedirektivet, sagde den irske kommissær, Charlie McCREEVY.
Commissioner for the Internal Market and Services, Charlie McCREEVY , stated that the proposed Services Directive had long been in the headlines.
Han håbede, at kunne fremlægge et revideret forslag inden udgangen af april, så man kan komme videre med dette vigtige forslag.
The Commission, he said, would come forward with a revised proposal following the vote in the European Parliament with a view to common position from Council " hopefully before April ".
Servicedirektivet vil gavne virksomhederne, styrke konkurrenceevnen og komme forbrugerne til gode, sagde han.
The core of the Lisbon strategy was to make European services more competitive and improve choice for consumers. "
PPE-DE-gruppen ønsker forenklinger og forbedringer samt større retssikkerhed, kort sagt et direktiv med klare og retfærdige regler der skaber et indre marked for tjenesteydelser til gavn for navnlig de små og mellemstore virksomheder ," konkluderede han.
This should now, he said, seek more cooperation between states, help combat the illegal trafficking in labour, benefit consumers, improve international competitiveness, and speed up the integration of new Member States into Europe's social market economy. "
Nej til opsplitning af Europa
We want the Council's spring summit to come to a political agreement on the basis of our vote.
Spørgsmålet er, hvilken form for Europa, vi ønsker os, sagde Martin SCHULZ (PSE, DE).
For the leader of the Socialist group, Martin SCHULZ (PES, DE), this Directive was the most controversial and hotly disputed of recent time, because it asked the question 'What social model should Europe have ?'
Han afviste det såkaldte Bolkestein-direktivs ensidige fokusering på vækst og advarede mod en opsplitning af Europa.
Europe cannot be divided into groups and the attempt to divide us has been removed. "
Derfor gælder det om at sende et klart signal, så Rådet og Kommissionen forstår, at man ikke kan komme uden om Parlamentet i forbindelse med vigtige afgørelser, sluttede han.
But there was now a broad majority in favour of a new Services Directive based on a guarantee of free market access but under the conditions of country where the services were provided, maintaining the standard acquired up to now. "
1,5 mio. nye arbejdspladser
If anyone wants to change or destroy the European Social Model, it is clear they will have to reckon with the European Socialists ," he said.
Vi skal have et dynamisk EU, som skaber vækst, velstand og muligheder for borgerne, sagde han.
There was, he said, a choice to reform and create wealth and opportunity, or to use protectionism in the short term interest of some, but with a long term loss for all. "
Protektionisme kan ikke løse problemerne for vore 20 mio. arbejdsløse, sagde han.
There was, he said, no risk of social dumping as the posting of workers directive was still in force.
Hen ved 70% af EU's økonomi skabes i servicesektoren, der er ved at blive kvalt af regler, sagde han.
The new compromise, he said, left Member States able to justify barriers on social policy and consumer protection grounds. "
Efter hans mening vil oprindelseslandsprincippet gøre det lettere for virksomhederne at gå ind på nye markeder uden at skulle oprette nye filialer eller datterselskaber. "
She spoke of the need for a European directive on services but that the Parliament was not in the position to deliver this time and instead merely "watered-down" the Commission's directive at the cost of clarity.
Et servicedirektiv med fri bevægelighed for tjenesteydelser vil være det bedste for den europæiske økonomi som helhed, ikke mindst for borgerne i de nye medlemsstater ", sagde han.
Ms. Rühle also disputed the country-of-origin principle asserting that when a service is provided locally, the local legislation should be complied with.
I den forbindelse vurderede han, at servicedirektivet vil kunne forøge BNP med 2% og skabe 1,5 mio. nye arbejdspladser.
She spoke of the problematic local-level restrictions that she considers the directive to cause and urged this element to be questioned.
Et kludetæppe af undtagelser
She concluded by saying that the directive could not be supported.
Heide RÜHLE (Verts/ALE, DE) fremhævede behovet for et europæisk servicedirektiv i lyset af de mange problemer i forbindelse med grænseoverskridende tjenesteydelser.
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) noted and welcomed the "exceptional political and social mobilisation around Europe" that the discussion of the directive has caused.
Men hun mente, at retssikkerheden er blevet forringet i forbindelse med behandlingen af det foreliggende direktiv, og at det vil føre til et utal af retstvister.
He talked of the potential it creates to offer services through bogus independents and the problems of contradictory working hours per week.
Derfor krævede hun, at direktivet begrænses til at omfatte kommercielle tjenesteydelser, dvs. at forsyningspligtsydelser skal behandles i et særskilt direktiv.
In the "context of these ambiguities", Mr. Wurtz considered that "the right thing to do at this stage is to reject the directive ", and if not now, he assured that he would strive to reject it further down the line.
Hun tog afstand fra den række undtagelser, som markedsudvalget har foreslået, og som efter hendes mening har ført til " et kludetæppe af undtagelser, der gør det svært at bevare overblikket ".
Speaking for the UEN group, Adam BIELAN (PL) asserted that one of the fundamental goals of the EU - to create a free-flowing market - has not yet been achieved, but that the Directive has the potential to do this.
Gruppen kan derfor ikke stemme for forslaget i dets nuværende form.
He supported the proposal by noting that the vast empirical evidence shows that the implementation of the directive would create 600,000 new jobs, that it would cause a reduction in prices, many benefits for customers and "higher unemployment, higher productivity, higher wages ".
Politisk og social mobilisering
British and Irish speakers
" På Valentinsdagen kunne jeg godt have tænkt mig at drøfte et mere romantisk emne end Bolkestein-direktivet ", sagde Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR).
Christopher HEATON-HARRIS (EPP-ED, UK), who authored an opinion on the Services Directive for the Budgetary Control Committee, said: " there is quite a lot of St Valentine's spirit around in Par liament".
Han glædede sig over den politiske og sociale mobilisering mod direktivet.
He agreed with the UK government's position that the proposed directive had been watered down too much already.
Efter det franske nej ved folkeafstemningen om forfatningstraktaten har man forstået, at det sociale aspekt skal spille en større rolle i europæisk politik, sagde han.
Parliament had a great responsibility: to show there could be an internal market in services, bearing in mind the European Social Model and without social dumping. "
Efter hans mening er direktivet imidlertid ikke blevet ændret tilstrækkeligt.
We should not undermine social provisions - this directive is often seen as blank cheque for social dumping and wage cuts.
"Arbejdstagerne må fortsat nære begrundet frygt for deres sociale sikkerhed" , fastslog han.
The country of origin principle was a " bridge too far " and he stated that competition had to be " not only free but also fair ".
Derfor opfordrede han medlemmerne til klart at forkaste direktivet.
Each Member State, he said, had a duty to provide these services to its citizens and it could not be " substituted by the cheapest cowboy pro vider".
Et fata morgana
Response to the debate
Nigel FARAGE (IND/DEM, UK) mindedes lanceringen af Lissabon-strategien for seks år siden "Vi skulle blive den mægtigste økonomi i verden, og nu har vi 20 mio. arbejdsløse, lave vækstrater og næsten ingen udenlandske investeringer" , sagde han.
Responding to the debate at the end of the afternoon session, Minister BARTENSTEIN said "There is now a better directive in front of us, which is able to garner a broad majority at first reading.
Efter hans mening bevæger EU sig i en ørken uden visioner.
I largely agree with the compromise proposal ."
Han betegnede servicedirektivet som et fata morgana, der ikke vil kunne løse problemerne.
He said that Parliament could be proud of its work on this dossier, as it could of its work on REACH.
Man kan ikke løse problemerne med mere lovgivning, fastslog han.
We will take on board position of Parliament and will take it seriously ," he said.
Modige og ansvarlige europæere
British and Irish speakers continued .
Det indre marked for tjenesteydelser er en af EU's grundlæggende målsætninger, sagde Adam Jerzy BIELAN (UEN, PL).
Eoin RYAN (UEN, IE) stated that politics was too often based on the politics of fear and the fear of change and this had also been the case in Ireland.
Servicedirektivet skal gavne virksomhederne, øge beskæftigelsen og give lavere forbrugerpriser, understregede han.
There were barriers available that would protect Europe from the forces of globalisation and it was about Europe avoiding a race to the bottom.
"Vi må vise os som modige og ansvarlige europæere og glæde os over det foreliggende kompromis, og jeg håber, at vi får et godt og liberalt direktiv" , sluttede han.
He quoted an economist who had said that there was a risk with all the amendments in Parliament that the services directive " would suffer a death by Parliament ".
Velkommen til den polske blikkenslager, men ikke til dumpingløn
Bairbre de BRUN (GUE/NGL, UK) urged the House to reject the Services Directive.
Jens-Peter BONDE (JuniBevægelsen) takkede de mange demonstranter, som viste deres modstand mod Bolkestein-direktivet på værdig vis.
It will, she continued, disproportionately affect women, both as the majority of workers in the service sector and as users of those services.
JuniBevægelsen ønsker ligesom demonstranterne at forkaste Bolkenstein-direktivet, og forliget mellem PSE og PPE-DE ændrer ikke kernen, sagde han.
Arlene McCARTHY (PES, UK) started by making reference to the late MEP, Philip Whitehead who, she said, would have been proud of the work done by the rapporteur Mrs Gebhardt and all Members who have worked so hard to improve and amend the Commission proposal.
Følsomme områder udgår af direktivet, så det bliver overladt til dommerne at liberalisere og markedsgøre offentlige tjenesteydelser .
Since 1993, she said, the free movement of goods, capital and persons has yielded enormous economic and social gains.
Det er allerede sket inden for områderne uddannelse, sociale forhold og sundhed", understregede han.
However, she supported the remaining provisions of what is already an emaciated directive.
Jens-Peter Bonde vurderede, at ændringsforslag nr. 5, som bekræfter EF-Domstolens principper om ikke-diskrimination, nødvendighed og proportionalitet, er en direkte invitation til Domstolen om at lovgive.
It is, she said, particularly important that the temporary workers' agencies are not excluded from the scope, given the extent to which staffing and recruitment agencies are used in a modern, flexible labour market.
Efter hans mening betyder det, at det er dommerne i Luxembourg, som skal bestemme, om national lov kan anses for ulovlig, hvis udenlandske virksomheder ikke har den samme faktiske adgang til at byde på opgaver og levere tjenesteydelser.
Reflecting back to 1992, the years of preparation leading to the final and general excitement to welcome the free market in goods and contrasting this with the present situation - one far-reaching proposal for a directive literally dumped on the table at the end of the last mandate.
"JuniBevægelsen byder velkommen til den polske blikkenslager og alle andre udenlandske arbejdere, men ikke til dumpingløn, sagde han.
Proinsias DE ROSSA (PES, IE) congratulated the rapporteur, Mrs Gebhardt, and Mrs Van Lancker, and their shadows in the other groups for the excellent work they have done in seeking to strengthen the services directive.
Vi ønsker fri konkurrence, men den skal også være fair, og vi foreslår derfor tjenesteydelser reguleret ved den åbne koordinationsmetode, så vore demokratier ikke gøres til ulovlige handelshindringer af dommerne i Luxembourg" , konkluderede han.
This House, he said, will be abdicating its responsibility by refusing to adopt the amended directive now on offer and leaving our services market, our labour rights, our consumer rights and our environmental rights in this area to the uncertainty of case-by-case decisions of the European Court of Justice. "
Et skridt i den rigtige retning
It is not elected to make law - we are " he stated
Det kompromis, vi står med, og som vi skal stemme om på torsdag, er et helt andet servicedirektiv end Bolkestein-direktivet, sagde Poul NYRUP RASMUSSEN (Socialdemokraterne).
Simon COVENEY (EPP-ED, IE), stated that this directive is attempting to achieve a massive amount in one brave step.
Derfor støtter de mange demonstranter uden for Parlamentet i dag dette kompromis, som det fremgår af en en pressemeddelelse fra generalsekretæren for Den Europæiske Fagbevægelse, John Monks, sagde han.
With all the work put into this directive in recent months, in this regard, he recognised the work of Malcolm HARBOUR (EPP-ED, UK) in particular, who has put an enormous amount of effort into bringing the compromise wording this far on behalf of the EPP-ED Group.
Poul Nyrup understregede, at han selv har været med til at skubbe i den retning.
"In the intensity of debate, however, on specific amendments, in particular relating to Article 16 on the freedom to provide services, let us not lose sight of the overall objective of what we are trying to achieve.
Poul Nyrup vurderede, at der er tale om en afbalanceret åbning af det indre marked.
It is now, he said, the opportunity to emulate the courage and foresight of our predecessors and make sure that a real single market in services is implemented. "
Han har længe sagt, at EU ikke må udvikle sig til en konkurrence mellem stater, og det har man undgået med det foreliggende kompromis.
Just as a single market in goods has provided new, more and better jobs, so will the services directive, if we vote through a strong and liberal version.
"Nu får vi en konkurrence på fair og transparente vilkår, og vi får en beskyttelse af de interesser, som tjener offentligheden og den enkelte borger", sagde han.
It can provide the opportunities which we all seek, especially in SMEs, as the essential element of a successful, competitive and prosperous European economy ."
Efter hans mening er det vigtigt at bygge videre på afgørende udviklingstendens, uanset om det drejer sig om arbejdstidsdirektivet eller nogle af de mange andre opgaver, EU står over.
Noting that the Opinion of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, which took a liberal line, was supported by 34 votes to 6 and was supported by Conservatives, Liberals and even most of the Socialists.
En skæbnestund for Europa
"We have heard all the arguments for and against this proposal.
Det er en skæbnestund for Europa, sagde Karin RIIS-JØRGENSEN (Venstre).
We owe a debt of gratitude to the rapporteur, the shadow rapporteurs and group leaders for their constructive approach.
Karin Riis-Jørgensen havde forventet, at Kommissionen ville støtte et reelt indre marked for serviceydelser, som jo er hjørnestenen i den højt profilerede Lissabon-proces.
In reply to Mr Watson's criticism of our efforts to help build bridges on Article 16, it is a pity he did not check the source of the draft text that he found fault with.
Hun var skuffet over, at kommissær McCreevy har lagt sit lod sammen med to store gruppers, hvis kompromis efter hendes mening ikke bringer EU tættere på borgerne.
It did not come from my Cabinet, but then I am used to being accused of many things, good and bad, for which I have no responsibility.
Kun et reelt indre marked for serviceydelser kan skabe de job, som vi trænger så meget til i Europa.
Turning to the substance of today's debate and the posting of workers, I have much sympathy for those who are concerned about what they see as unnecessary administrative burdens placed on workers who are posted to another Member State.
Alt andet er falsk markedsføring, sagde hun
There is Community law and court jurisprudence which must be respected.
20060210IPR05172 Betænkning om forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om tjenesteydelser i det indre marked
After the plenary vote, it will be up to the Council of Ministers, as joint legislator with Parliament, to decide its position on the directive and the amendments adopted by MEPs.
Situationen i Iran
Iranian nuclear dispute: MEPs support UN Security Council involvement
Irans atomprogram skaber international spænding
International tension grows over Iran's nuclear programme
MEPerne mener, at en atomvåben-fri zone i Mellemøsten kan være med til at løse sikkerhedsproblemerne i regionen
Parliament reiterates its condemnation of President Ahmadinejad ’s threatening remarks against Israel, which are not conducive to trust in the intentions of the Iranian Government to adopt a peaceful and constructive role in the Middle East.
EU-flyveledercertifikat skal give øget sikkerhed
MEPs back Community licence for air traffic controllers to improve safety and combat staff shortages
EP har godkendt et forslag om at harmonisere reglerne om uddannelse og udstedelse af flyveledercertifikater samt at lette den gensidige anerkendelse af nationale certifikater.
MEPs adopted a second reading report on establishing a Community Air Traffic Controller Licence.
EU-flyveledercertifikatet skal øge sikkerheden og forbedre EU-flyvekontrolsystemets måde at fungere på.
Rules on training and licensing of air traffic controllers are to be harmonised.
Direktivets konsekvenser for den civile lufttrafik, der kontrolleres af tjenesteudøvere, der først og fremmest beskæftiger sig med militær trafik, er blevet justeret, så fremgangsmåden er mere på linje med fremgangsmåden i forordningerne om det fælles europæiske luftrum.
Rapporteur Christine de VEYRAC (EPP-ED, FR) also underlined the importance of the directive for the Single European Sky, created in 2004, as it facilitates both the establishment of cross-border functional airspace blocks and the provision of cross-border air-traffic control services.
Sociale og arbejdsmarkedsmæssige spørgsmål
At present airspace blocks often end at national borders.
Selv om man har bibeholdt det oprindelige grundkrav til sprogfærdigheder på operationelt niveau (niveau 4), tillader den fælles holdning også, at der kan kræves ekspertniveau (niveau 5), når bydende sikkerhedshensyn tilsiger det.
One of the objectives of the Single Sky is a safer, more efficient flow of traffic by creating airspace blocks that do not end at national borders but straddle them where this makes operational sense.
