Possibly waiting for a new directive that, we hope, will never come.

I should like to begin with a few words about the history of this proposal for a directive.

Here's to European private investigators, then, and let us hope we will soon be able to vote for such a directive.

I look forward to our obtaining a really large majority for a good directive.

My report changes a number of points in the proposal for a directive.

In the current situation the need for such a directive is even stronger.

But we have had no proposal for a directive on services of general economic interest.

This absolutely must be changed with a new proposal for a directive.

The present proposal for a directive comes in response to these changes.

This cannot be in the spirit of the proposal for a directive.
