".
The European Union is based on the four freedoms. When we carried out the Swedish referendum on EU membership, the yes-camp won due to the optimism which the citizens felt regarding the four freedoms. With this enlargement, the new candidate countries will have a period of quarantine in terms of a person’s freedom to seek work in the various Member States.
Allowing current Member States to decide on access to this freedom has devolved one of the Union’s most fundamental rights to Member States. Generosity will vary. The nationalisation of existing Union rights breaches the spirit of the Treaty of Rome and should not be implemented. No one wants to introduce internal border protection within the Union. Alien constructs like this risk watering down the fundamental freedoms."@en1
