Kathy Sinnott (IND/DEM ). –
Mr McCreevy, I was once lost in the rural roads of your home county. Asking directions of a gentleman I passed, I was told ‘well, I wouldn’t start from over here’.
I pass this piece of advice to you, Commissioner: if you want to smoothly facilitate free and easy movement of services throughout our 25 countries, I wouldn’t start from here.
‘Here’ being a vague and incomprehensible mess that will be defined in our courts. ‘Here’ being a recipe for chaos, creating a situation where we will potentially become 25 different systems of regulation and business moving to the country with the most regulatory advantages, creating a crisis in which the only solution will be complete federal harmonisation, and who wants that?
