"Mr President, I thank the Commissioner for his good lead to us in bringing forward this clear, rational strategy document that helps us to see how the Commission means to bring forward the internal market strategy. Thanks also to my colleague Mrs Palacio Vallelersundi for having made such an excellent job of putting together thoughts in a motion for a resolution on this strategy. We are very happy with that but we will suggest one amendment: to clarify the position of artists in the Community, in particular in the areas of freedom of movement, establishment and taxation.
In the main paper we are particularly attracted – as are others – by the emphasis on the need for a coherent approach to Internet regulation and e-commerce; also, intellectual property, distance selling and data protection – taking them all together in order to protect consumer rights and ensure adequate rules of viability. Naturally, in our group, we want to see that the achievement of the internal market involves a balance – as you said yourself, Commissioner – between market freedom and the need to protect the environment, consumer health and consumer confidence.
I should also like to mention our sense – like yours – that the ordinary citizens need to see an increase in the speed and efficiency of infringement proceedings against defaulting Member States where the rights of European Union citizens exercised within the internal market are impinged upon or denied.
I am very upset, as a member of the academic profession, to see yet again the issue of foreign language lecturers in Italian universities coming forward without yet a resolution after eleven years, after three judgments in favour of the rights of these ordinary citizens seeking to exercise freedom of movement, seeking to take advantage of that fundamental principle of the Union and the internal market of no discrimination on nationality grounds. It really is disgraceful that this issue still remains open. I hope that the Internal Market Commissioner and his colleagues will make it their urgent business to bring this to an end. The Commissioner has shown himself wise and far-sighted in his strategy document. I trust and am sure he will show himself no less resolute in pressing home cases which have to be brought to a conclusion speedily."@en1
