Petition in support of the EU service directive

We at Eudoxa share the worries of the Lithuanian Free Market Institute, thus we have elected to co-sign their petition in support of the EU's service directive.

For the objectives of the directive to be accomplished, it is essential to ensure that the list of the services embraced by the provisions of this directive is not narrowed by foregoing the free movement of services that are subject to more rigid regulation (social services, health care services, etc.). It is also vital that derogations are kept to the minimum. Furthermore, if the implementation of the Directive is to markedly reduce administrative barriers, it is crucial that the directive does not contain any mandatory requirements for service providers that are either undefined or open to interpretation.

The petition has been sent to the European Council and members of the European Parliament.
