In order to create a real internal services market by 2010, the 'Services' Directive aims to facilitate freedom of establishment for providers in other Member States and the freedom of provision of services between Member States. It also aims to increase the choice offered to recipients and improve the quality of services both for consumers and businesses using these services. The Directive was adopted on 28 December 2006 and should be transponded by all member states by 28 December 2009.
