Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the attainment of a real internal market for services will afford the small and medium-sized enterprises added incentive for innovation - as was already underlined in the debate, in fact. It will also improve the competitiveness of European industry and will provide more benefits to the consumers who will be offered a whole series of high-quality competitive services.
Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, kære kolleger, gennemførelsen af et reelt indre marked for tjenester vil fremme innovationen for de små og mellemstore virksomheder endnu mere - hvilket allerede er blevet understreget i debatten - forbedre det europæiske erhvervslivs internationale konkurrenceevne samt give flere fordele til forbrugere, som tilbydes en lang række konkurrerende tjenester af høj kvalitet.
