Miután bő másfél (vagy 2?) éves blogolás után - előzetes értesítés nélkül - töröltem a(z első) blogomat, többen szóltatok, hogy kár érte. Visszacsinálni már nem tudom, de ha már így, gondoltam, legalább egy emlékblog álljon itt azok kedvéért, akik ismerték és szerették: akik életében űrt hagyott. :)

Services Directive
Jé, már erről is van egy oldal a wikipedia-ban! Ott ezeket írják róla:
The Directive on services in the internal market (commonly referred to as the Bolkestein Directive) is an initiative of the European Commission aimed at creating a single market for services within the European Union (EU), similar to the single market for goods already present. Drafted under the leadership of the former European Commissioner for the Internal Market Frits Bolkestein, it has been popularly referred to by his name. It is seen as an important kick-start to the Lisbon Agenda which, launched in 2000, is an agreed strategy to make the EU “the world's most dynamic and competitive economy" by 2010. With the proposed legislation, the Commission wants to reduce the barriers to cross-border trade, principally by doing away with the service industry regulations of individual EU Member States, unless those regulations are non-discriminatory; objectively justified on the grounds of public interest; and proportionate. The Commission argues that regulations which do not meet these criteria are unnecessary and pose a barrier to service providers wanting to provide services in other Member States in addition to their country of establishment. The Bolkestein directive was harshly criticised by the left wing, who stated that it would lead to competition between workers in different parts of Europe — hence the expression "Polish plumber" — resulting in social dumping. The directive, after being substantially amended, was adopted on 12 December 2006 by the European Parliament and Council, as the Directive 2006/123/EC.
