lpv:translated text	"Madam President, both the rapporteur, Mr Santini, and the Commission applaud European citizenship. This is now to be given concrete shape in the proposal to give EU citizens the right of free movement and residence. This right is, and I quote: ‘becoming an integral part of the legal heritage of every citizen of the European Union’, according to the Commission. Precisely what heritage does the Commission mean here? I find this pronouncement just as surprising as the term ‘European citizenship’. Because a Dutch person can go and work in France more easily, he suddenly feels like a European citizen. But no, he is still a Dutch person working in France. From a practical point of view it is a good and even modernising proposal. It will eliminate a lot of red tape and uncontrollable rules. I think that there are two points on which I believe the Commission is encroaching too far on the Member States’ decision-making authority. Firstly in article 25, in which a host country is prohibited from issuing an expulsion order when the person concerned has obtained a permanent right of residence. Then in article 30, paragraph 2, which states that a person may resubmit a request for admission no more than two years after expulsion. That is really badly thought through. I cannot support the amendments in the Santini report that extend the definition of partner and that tone down the Commission’s amendments."@en1
