". Although I believe that creating a genuine European area of free movement and genuinely defining the Union’s citizens’ right to residence justify promoting a coherent and articulate policy, I have had to vote against the report. I regret that the excessive approach of the proposals, voted for mainly by the left in the parliamentary committee, remove any merit the report had, and take it far from the considerably more balanced approach of the rapporteur. The final text suffers from the vices of failing to add to the rights and freedoms that are enshrined the duties that go with them, thereby denying the need to take account of their real value and of their real existence. They also seek to impose a European identity, ignoring true national identities; establishing an artificial equation between the family and other human relationships in a way that is no longer surprising and takes opportunistic advantage of one issue in order to impose another; and it ignores the third largest concern of Europe’s citizens – the fight against organised crime. In addition to breaking down the internal doors of the Union, this text would not allow Member States to learn about and monitor migratory phenomena, a factor that will affect their domestic social balance and the implementation of their budgets, especially for social assistance. The European Parliament has therefore opted for what is a clearly excessive approach, which goes far beyond what is needed. This will, in a counterproductive way, only create further difficulties and new unnecessary obstacles to the adoption of these rules. As I have already said, those who wish to achieve too much will prevent us from achieving the basic goals."@en1
