It emerged this week that the European Parliament's Internal Market Committee has approved the controversial services directive which played a role in France's rejection of the EU constitution.
In a delayed vote on Tuesday, the Committe passed the legislation in pretty much its original state, discarding the amendments proposed by German rapporteur, Evelyne Gebhardt.
The draft directive now faces a vote by the entire European Parliament in February 2006.
Speaking to the European media with regard to the legislation, Ms Gebhardt observed this week that:
"This proposal - as accepted by the committee - is definitely not overcoming fears about social dumping expressed by citizens in some countries."
