"Mr President, I come to this debate today with a lot of reservations because of some of the comments made by other speakers in a previous debate. In particular when we speak about the free movement of workers, as was pointed out in the two previous debates on Lisbon and on the Lipietz report, the free movement of workers is not just about internal barriers. It is not just about lack of social security protection. It is also about lack of recognition and about hindrances at national level whereby the internal market is not completed. It is about lack of recognition of qualifications. It is about lack of opportunity for training and also a lack of opportunity for knowledge of what opportunities and what rights are available to people.
So when we speak about the free movement of workers and when we speak about updating regulations we should be clearer in our focus on two points, namely that, firstly, in Nice the governments decided that this should be done by unanimous voting, not by qualified majority voting, and secondly that there should be no discrimination – either positive or negative – against any worker who is legally resident within the Member States of the European Union. My Group will therefore be supporting the resolution from the PPE-DE Group."@en1
