".
The negotiation of these agreements on the basis of the principles of the overall balance of mutual advantages and parallel approaches is important for the various parties concerned.
The agreement on the free movement of persons is particularly important for Portugal, since more than one hundred thousand Portuguese emigrants work in Switzerland, including several thousand seasonal workers. Switzerland operates stricter laws for nationals of third countries and, with the entry into force of this agreement, the Swiss system will, by stages, adapt to the principle of the free movement of persons, based on the
. The clause stipulating that the seven agreements will have to come into force at the same time and will only apply when taken together is therefore extremely important.
The current situation of workers who are considered to be seasonal and who are obliged to leave Switzerland for three months every year is particularly serious. These workers are not able to change jobs or to move from one canton to another and they are not automatically granted the right to bring their families. But there are also many restrictions on those who work all year round, since they are generally not allowed to change jobs, professions or cantons, nor are they automatically granted the right to bring their families.
With the agreements that have been approved today, these problems will gradually be resolved, and we also hope that, through the establishment of the Joint Committee provided for in the agreement on the free movement of persons, positive steps will be taken to resolve other issues connected to the social protection of emigrants and their families. That is why we have voted in favour of this report."@en1
