In diesem Artikel in Interface, einer monatlichen Publikation von Confrontations Europe, schreibt die deutsche Europaabgeordnete Elisabeth Schroedter über den „Coup“ der Kommission bei der Dienstleistungsrichtlinie.
The Commission reacted to the deletion of Articles 24 and 25 by Parliament by inserting a catalogue of „guidelines for the posting of employees for the provision of services“ in its amended proposal for a Services Directive. It quoted the need to adapt the practice of member states to European Court of Justice jurisdiction. If however one compares contents, one finds that the catalogue contains the essential points of the original articles 24 and 25 of the Services Directive. The guidelines allow the Commission to impose the limitations to core control instruments of the member states that were proposed in articles 24 and 25 without allowing Parliament and member states to have an influence on the content of the catalogue.
