"My British Labour colleagues and I have voted in favour of the Terrón i Cusí report, as we support the aim of providing legal channels of entry for those seeking work in the European Union.
The UK, however, has chosen not to opt into this report, in line with its position on maintaining control over admissions. Nevertheless, Labour Members have actively participated in deliberations on the report, both with a view to establishing a fair set of rights and obligations for third country nationals across the EU, and also with a view to a possible UK opt-in in the future.
For this reason, we have opposed certain provisions that will cause specific problems in the UK. In particular, I refer to Amendments Nos 2, 55, 27 and 17, which we voted against.
We are mindful that this report comes under the consultation procedure and, although Parliament's opinion is an essential part of the legislative process, these are issues that will ultimately be decided by the Council."@en1
