Njen pristop postavlja ljudi na prvo mesto, saj bi se moral odbor ob preučevanju zakonodajnih predlogov vedno vprašati: "Kako bo to vplivalo na življenje ljudi in kaj bo pomenilo za potrošnike ter poslovni svet?"
Adopting a distinctly practical approach, Mrs McCarthy said that when the committee is scrutinising potential new EU legislation it must always ask "how will this affect peoples lives?" and "what will it mean in practice?" for the public and the business community.
Napovedani pragmatizem bo vsekakor na preizkušnji ob sprejemanju direktive o storitvah, ki naj bi olajšala izvajanje storitev v celotni Evropski uniji, torej tudi izven meja države, kjer ima ponudnik storitev svoj sedež.
This pragmatic approach will certainly be tested with the ongoing debate over the "Services" directive - the European Commission's proposal to allow people and businesses in the service sector greater freedom to work across the European Union.
Poslanka McCarthy ugotavlja, da je direktiva "eden od najobsežnejših in najbolj spornih zakonodajnih predlogov, ki jih je parlament kadarkoli sprejemal".
The directive is one of the "biggest, most controversial pieces of legislation the Parliament has ever dealt with" said Mrs McCarthy in an exclusive interview with the Parliament's website.
Poslanci bodo o dopolnjenem predlogu direktive glasovali na plenarnem zasedanju v Strasbourgu 16. februarja.
The latest version of the directive is due to be voted upon by a full plenary session of the Parliament in Strasbourg on 16 February.
Boljša zakonodajna ureditev notranjega trga
"Better regulation" of the internal market
Predvsem namerava ugotoviti, ali ti partnerski projekti med zasebnim in javnim sektorjem spoštujejo "temeljna načela enakopravnega obravnavanja, preglednosti in vzajemnega priznavanja ter res pomenijo dobro naložbo sredstev".
In particular, does it ensure that "fundamental principles of equal treatment, transparency and mutual recognition are safeguarded and value for money obtained" in such "Public Private Partnerships".
Odbor bo tudi nadaljeval preučevanje predlaganega delovnega načrta Unije na področju varstva potrošnikov za obdobje 2007-2013.
The committee will also continue its scrutiny of a proposed Community action programme in the field of consumer protection for the period 2007-2013.
Uredbe in druga pravila za delovanje notranjega trga predstavljajo skoraj tretjino a cquis communautaire - skupne evropske zakonodaje - zato je nemogoče, da bi poslanki McCarthyevi in njenim kolegom uspelo pregledati vso to količino, kar pa ne pomeni, da si ne bodo prizadevali za boljšo zakonodajo.
With internal market rules and regulations accounting for almost a third of the "acquis communautaire" (the name given to the entire body of European law), it is clear Mrs McCarthy and her colleagues will have their work cut out.
Med drugim naj bi odbor ugotovil, če se zakonodaja res pravilno izvaja in omogoča dejansko delovanje notranjega trga ter ustrezno varstvo potrošnikov.
However, she spoke of the need for "better regulation" in the EU.
Pri tem bi poslanci lahko stopili na spolzek teren, saj so za izvajanje zakonodaje pristojne države članice Unije.
One area the committee intends to examine is in ensuring that existing rules are being applied correctly to ensure proper functioning of the internal market and adequate consumer protection - a move that could potentially lead to conflict with some EU members, where responsibilty for implementation ultimately lies.
Arlene McCarthy je položaj predsednice odbora za notranji trg prevzela po nenadni smrti dotedanjega predsednika Phillipa Whiteheada konec lanskega leta.
Arlene McCarthy became Chair of the committee following the death of her predecessor Phillip Whitehead on New Year's eve.
V svojem nastopnem govoru je svojega predhodnika opisala kot človeka, ki je "na izreden način združeval duhovitost, modrost in izkušnje", pri čemer je dodala, da ima ob tem mešane občutke, saj je bil poslanec Whitehead tudi njen politični mentor.
In her acceptance speech Mrs McCarthy praised Phillip Whitehead's "special blend of wit, wisdom and experience" and said she has "mixed feelings" taking over the position following the death of someone she considered her "political mentor".
V Evropski parlament je bila na listi britanske laburistične stranke prvič izvoljena leta 1994 v volilnem okrožju Peak District, leta 1999 pa v volilnem okrožju severozahod.
This year will be her 12th year in the Parliament, first having been elected as a Labour MEP in 1994 for the Peak District and then from 1999 for the North West region of Britain.

Belorusija: zaprti otok strahu na vzhodu Evrope
Belarus: fear and isolation in Europe
Mednarodne kritike niso nič novega za predsednika Aleksandra Lukešenka, ki nekdanji sovjetski republiki Belorusiji s trdo roko vlada že 12 let.
Listening to others: Belarus Presidential candidate Alexander Milinkevich
Predsedniške volitve 19. marca pa bodo še pod posebej budnim očesom tujine.
International criticism may be nothing new for the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, the hard-line President of the former Soviet Republic of Belarus, but in the run-up to Presidential elections on 19 March his regime will come under unprecedented international scrutiny.
Lukašenkov režim je bil že večkrat predmet ostrih kritikih vlad in nevladnih organizacij zaradi številnih kršitev človekovih pravic in svoboščin.
During his 12 years as President his government has been under fire from other governments, international organisations and human rights groups for violations of human rights and lack of political freedoms.
Pred popolno osamitvijo rešuje Belorusijo le velika soseda Rusija z neomajno politično podporo in dobavami poceni zemeljskega plina.
Only the continued political support of Russia and cheap imports of her gas has kept it from total isolation.
V Bruslju se je srečal tudi s predsednikom parlamenta Josepom Borrellom, ki mu je obljubil, da bo popolno podporo pri izvedbi pripravi svobodnih in demokratičnih volitev.
While in Brussels he also met Parliament President Josep Borrell, who assured Mr Milinkevich that the Parliament would "give its full backing to organise a free, democratic...ballot."
Zatiranje po črki zakona
Legal crackdown
Poslanec Klich opozarja, da je Belorusija neslavna rekorderka po številu resolucij Evropskega parlamenta, ki obsojajo ravnanje državnih oblasti.
Mr Klich pointed out that Belarus had the dubious privilege of being the subject of the highest number of EP resolutions condemning its behaviour.
Zadnjo so poslanci sprejeli septembra lani, v njej pa naštevajo, da je režim v zadnjih letih zaradi kritik na račun predsednika in njegove politike prepovedal več političnih strank, 22 časopisov in več kot 50 nevladnih organizacij.
The last one in September 2005 noted the closure over the last few years of "several political parties, 22 newspapers and more than 50 pro-democracy NGOs...for criticising the President and his policies".
Tudi zato in zaradi ovir, s katerimi se predstavniki medijev soočajo pri svojem delu, je Evropski parlament leta 2004 podelil nagrado Saharov za svobodo misli beloruskemu združenju novinarjev.
Against this background, in 2004 the Parliament awarded the Belarus Association of journalists the Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought in recognition of the difficulties they faced.
V odgovor na zatiranje svobode govora pa je Evropska komisija sklenila pogodbo z medijsko hišo iz Nemčije, da na svetovnem spletu in radiu oddaja neodvisne informativne programe za Belorusijo.
Also i n response to this media crackdown the European Commission has contracted a German media group to broadcast independent news into Belarus via the internet and radio.
Septembra lani je bilo za nadaljevanje tega projekta odobrenih 2 milijona evrov.
A further €2 million was earmarked in September to increase this type of activity.
Beloruske oblasti so dobro "pripravile teren" pred letošnjimi volitvami.
In anticipation of this year's election the Belarus government has prepared the ground well in advance.
Decembra istega leta je beloruski parlament sprejel zakon, ki "omalovaževanje" Belorusije opredeljuje kot kaznivo dejanje z zagroženo kaznijo do treh let zapora.
In December, the Belarusian Parliament passed a law which made it a criminal offence to "discredit" the Belarusian state - with a three year jail term for offenders.
Kritika predsednika države ali drugih visokih predstavnikov oblasti je bila že prej razglašena za kaznivo dejanje.
It is already illegal in Belarus to criticise President Lukashenko or other senior officials.
Septembra lani so oblasti ukinile edini neodvisni dnevni časnik Narodnaja volja" .
In September 2005 the government closed the only independent daily newspaper - "Narodnaya Volya".
Vse te poteze režima kažejo, da se oblasti v Minsku bojijo izbruha protestov, podobnih "oranžni revoluciji" v Ukrajini, ki bi po poneverjenih volitvah predsednika lahko prisilili k sestopu z oblasti.
Behind these measures is the regime's fear that a Ukraine-style Orange people's revolution will erupt following the vote and force the President to concede power.
Ravnanje oblasti pa ima za posledico tudi osamitev od Zahoda, ki je postala očitna leta 2004, ko je Evropska unija vodilnim članom vlade in nekaterim visokim uradnikom odrekla izdajo vstopnih vizumov zaradi vpletenosti v poneverjanje izidov referenduma o tretjem predsednikovem mandatu ter zaradi oviranja preiskave izginotja treh voditeljev opozicije in neodvisnega novinarja v letih 1999 in 2000.
Measures like these have led to virtual political isolation from the west - in 2004 that isolation became a physical reality for certain senior officials who were indefinitely denied visa access to the EU for their direct involvement in fraudulent elections and a referendum in 2004, and for others who were implicated in "apparent obstruction of justice" into the investigation of the disappearance of three opposition figures and a journalist in 1999/2000.
Predsednik Lukašenko pa se še vedno lahko zanese na vsaj na nekaj prijateljev v Kremlju.
However, Presi dent Lukashenko can count on at least some friends - notably in the Kremlin.
Ko je Rusija v sporu z Ukrajino glede dobav zemeljskega plina vztrajala pri svetovnih cenah tega energenta, ni izvajala podobnega pritiska na Belorusijo in ohranja subvencionirane cene.
During last month's "gas dispute" between Russia and Ukraine, Moscow insisted in price increases for Ukraine but left the subsidised tariff for Belarus unchanged.
Tako belorusko gospodarstvo ostaja "nad vodo", zato ni povoda za socialni nemir, obenem pa država zaposluje precejšen del prebivalstva in tako dodatno preprečuje morebitno nezadovoljstvo.
This has played a major part in preventing the economic collapse of Belarus, while the large number of people employed by the Belarus state helps stifle protest.

Povzetek zasedanja
Strasbourg Plenary 13-16 February 2006 - Debates and votes
Ukrepi za poenostavitev postopkov, ki bi ponudnikom različnih storitev omogočili, da svojo dejavnost lažje opravljajo izven države, v kateri imajo sicer sedež, je v javnosti vzbudila veliko razprav.
Commission President José Manuel BARROSO has already announced that the Commission will revise its original proposal as quickly as possible on the basis of the text adopted by Parliament.
V ponedeljek je bila prva točka dnevnega reda razprava o minimalnih pravilih za zaščito piščancev, ki se gojijo za proizvodnjo mesa.
A terminological, legal and political battle resulted from differences between political groups on the aim of the directive.
Sledili sta razpravi o predlogu za spremembo pravil za dodeljevanje državnih pomoči in poročilu o vplivih globalizacije na notranji trg Unije.
A few days before the plenary session, a compromise was reached between the PES and the EPP-ED which overturns the approach proposed by the Commission.
Zvečer so poslanci v tretjem branju obravnavali predlog uredbe o zaščiti delavcev pred umetnim optičnim sevanjem.
This compromise was backed by the Parliament in its first-reading vote.
Vsa predlagana poročila so brez večjih dopolnil potrdili v torek.
The rule of the freedom to provide services replaces the country of origin principle.
Na dopoldanskem delu torkovega dnevnega reda je bilo poročilo slovenskega poslanca Mihaela BREJCA o obmejnem prometu na zunanjih kopenskih mejah EU.
It requires the Member States to respect the right of the service provider to supply services and to guarantee the provider "free access to and free exercise of a service activity within its territory".
Predlog uredbe je parlament z veliko večino sprejel na opoldanskem glasovanju.
This guarantee is underpinned by a ban on a number of obstacles to the free movement of services.
Popoldanska in večerna razprava sta bili skoraj v celoti namenjen direktivi o storitvah.
The provider must not be forced to register with a professional body nor be banned from using his normal equipment at work.
V sredo zjutraj so se poslanci posvetili zelo aktualnim temam: svobodi govora in verski nestrpnosti, sporu z Iranom glede jedrskega programa, prihodnosti Bosne in Hercegovine in razmeram v Belorusiji pred predsedniškimi volitvami.
In addition, Member States must not apply "contractual arrangements between the provider and the recipient which prevent or restrict service provision by the self-employed".
Opoldne je parlament na slavnostnem delu seje nagovoril avstrijski zvezni predsednik Heinz Fischer.
Thus on the one hand the text bans the Member States from erecting obstacles to the free movement of services.
Poslanci so v četrtek vso pozornost namenili glasovanju o direktivi o storitvah, popoldne pa so sledile razprave o stanju človekovih pravic po svetu.
Member States will also continue to apply their own rules on conditions of employment, including those laid down through collective bargaining agreements.
Prost pretok storitev: velik korak naprej
The following sectors are covered by the proposed directive:
Evropski parlament je po dveh letih postopka v četrtek v prvem branju z veliko večino potrdil poročilo o zakonodaji, ki vzpostavlja skupni trg za storitve, ki so največji gospodarski sektor v Uniji.
Services of general economic interest, as defined by the each Member State, such as postal services, water supply, electricity, waste treatment are included in the scope of the directive.
Prvotni predlog je temeljito spremenjen, vendar namen direktive ostaja enak - odprava ovir prostemu pretoku storitev.
Nevertheless these services are not subject to the rule of freedom to provide services.
Hkrati je parlament jasno poudaril, da direktiva ne posega v pravice zaposlenih, ki ostajajo predmet nacionalnih zakonodaj.
Consequently, only the stipulations relating to establishment in another Member State would be applied there and not those relating to the temporary cross-border services' provision.
Obseg in izjeme od določil direktive Direktiva velja za storitve, ki jih registrirani ponudnik izvaja v eni od držav članic Unije.
If the Council rejects any of Parliament's amendments or adds any of its own, the text will return to Parliament for a second reading.
Omogočila naj bi uveljavljanje svobode ustanavljanja ponudnikov storitev in prostega pretoka storitev ter obenem ohranjanje visoke ravni kakovosti storitev.
In fact, she said, all Member States have the same rights and obligations - the EU should serve the welfare of all 450m citizens.
Izraz "storitev" pomeni vsako zasebno pridobitno dejavnost, praviloma opravljeno proti plačilu.
"People must be central," she said, "workers and their families should be the centre point, not major companies and their profits."
Dejavnosti, ki jih v okviru svojih dolžnosti na socialnem, kulturnem, izobraževalnem in sodnem področju brez povračila izvaja država, oziroma regionalni ali lokalni organi oblasti, niso storitve in zato niso predmet direktive.
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.
Ta direktiva ne vpliva na nacionalne zakonodaje o socialni varnosti v državah članicah.
The internal market had created 2.5 million jobs, but the remaining loopholes needed to be closed.
Direktiva se ne uporablja za storitve splošnega interesa.
Parliament's vote will be the major basis for review of the proposal which the Commission needs to carry out."
Pojem "storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena" pomeni storitve, ki so predmet posebnih obveznosti iz javnih storitev, ki jih je ponudniku storitev naložila država, da bi izpolnila določene cilje javnega pomena.
"The Presidency will work closely for a balanced directive, which takes account of peoples' concerns, but which lays the basis for a well functioning market in services," he said.
To dejansko pomeni, da pristojni organi države članice, kjer se opravlja storitev, lahko izvajajo kontrole, preglede in preiskave, pod pogojem, da so objektivno utemeljeni in nediskriminacijski.
On healthcare services, he said that the Commission had to take into account the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice and, therefore, the Commission would come up with, if necessary, a separate proposal on patient mobility.
Parlament zato izrecno poudarja, da direktiva ne sme posegati v določbe direktive o napotitvi delavcev.
Freedom of movement of services was one of the four freedoms that were the basis of Union, but it had lagged behind the others.
Razprava o predlogu
The answer was about to come.
Poročevalka Evelyne GEBHARDT (PES, DE) je v predstavitvi poročila orisala, kako je potekala obravnava predloga direktive, ki ga je Komisija vložila leta 2004.
"For us, as social democrats, it is clear that economic and technical progress was linked to higher wages, social security and consumer protection.
Zato je bilo treba odpraviti sporno določilo o državi izvora," je pojasnila odločitev za uvedbo določila o svobodi opravljanja storitev.
"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.
Tako se vzajemno priznava zakonodaj, ki ureja registracijo ponudnika v matični državi, njegovo delovanje na trgu, kjer storitve ponuja, pa urejajo tamkajšnji zakoni.
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.
Poudarila je še, da bi morala direktiva urejati samo vprašanje komercialnih storitev: "Sodobno suženjstvo, ki ga ponujajo agencije za začasno zaposlovanje ni storitev, ki bi lahko imela prost pretok v Evropi."
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.
Orisal je zgodovino predloga direktive in dodal, da je prost pretok storitev med štirimi svobodami, zapisanimi leta 1958, ki pa dejansko še ni uresničena.
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.
Direktiva je nujna, saj je "storitveni sektor jedro Lizbonske strategije, ki želi okrepiti konkurenčnost podjetij, ustvariti nova delovna mesta in izboljšati izbiro za potrošnike.
He finished by declaring that he was "in favour of equality, in favour of solidarity, in favour of the rights of everyone", and therefore that he would "say no to Bolkestein".
Gre za politično odločitev, za preizkušnjo, pred katero so Evropska komisija in države članice, pa tudi mi v parlamentu, da vidimo, kako resno mislimo je z našimi izjavami o lizbonski strategiji."
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".
Dodal je še, da njegova skupina želi soglasje, a ne za vsako ceno in naj bi direktivo sprejeli čimprej: "Vsak izgubljen dan pomeni manj rasti, manj konkurenčnosti, več brezposelnosti.
Mr. Bielan urged the Parliament not to consent to the reprimand of the directive, but instead to support it and show what he believes Europeans are: "courageous, responsible and wise".
Ljudi je treba pomiriti, da vnovič dobijo upanje in zaupanje v Evropo."
She declared the directive to be "complex, ambiguous, unclear, contradictory and dangerous", and in view of protecting culture and education, she said she was against it.
Bolkesteinov cilj je bila gospodarska rast z manj dohodka, manj socialne varnosti, manj zaščite okolja in potrošnikov.
We need measures for better access to information for employers, less red tape, and also actually to apply posting of workers directive which is too often side-stepped."
S tem predlogom Bolkesteina ni več," je dejal Schulz.
The present compromise was a good one, she said.
Dodal je, da je bil prvotni predlog direktive v resnici poskus razcepitve Evrope, ko bi ponudniki z nižjo ceno zbijali cene in standard tistih z višjo življenjsko ravnjo.
Businesses should not be subject to disproportionate and unnecessary duplicate rules or restrictions as the case-law of the European Court of Justice had underlined.
Sedanje soglasje v parlamentu pa kaže, da so zavrnili tiste, ki so to želeli doseči in pokazali, da ne dovolijo sprememb evropskega socialnega modela.
Mr Harbour stressed the importance of the Commission and Commissioner McCreevy in making the proposal more business friendly.
"Veliki koncerni se lahko znajdejo v svetovni konkurenci.
It was clear that the Directive needed a rewrite stated Jean LAMBERT (Greens/ EFA, UK) but it was "a pity that it was Parliament who is doing it".
Mi pa moramo poskrbeti, da ne bodo odrinjeni na stran delavci v tovarnah, pristaniščih, vozniki tovornjakov, poštarji, železničarji, medicinske sestre.
She said that, along with many others, she had found the Commission's behaviour "highly problematic" during the course of the discussion on the directive.
Ali pa bodo s protekcionizmom nekateri kratkoročno pridobili, vendar bomo dolgoročno izgubili vsi" .
The country of origin principle was a "bridge too far" and he stated that competition had to be "not only free but also fair".
Dodal je, da bi prav načelo o državi izvora pomagalo malim podjetjem, ki predstavljajo 90 odstotkov ponudnikov storitev, vendar bodo težko poslovali, če bi načelo ukinili.
He also could not agree with the scope of the Directive saying that it should not apply to core public services.
"Želim da glasujemo za storitve, za delovna mesta in za močnejšo Evropo," je zaključil Watson.
"The compromise gives high added value in terms of freedom of services in the internal market, and a gives a clear 'no' to social and wage dumping."
"Predlog je katalog izjem, preproga iz različnih pisanih krpic.
Bairbre de BRUN (GUE/NGL, UK) urged the House to reject the Services Directive.
