Thanks for the link. I haven't read the full document and I'm likely not to agree with all of it (the statement in the introduction that the 'neoliberal' services directive has passed virtually unchanged kind of ticked me off given that even its supporters admitted that the country of origin principle was the lynchpin of the legislation and the socialist group stated that they had gotten 90% of what they wanted), but there seem to be interesting suggestions.
