".
I have already said in the debate that the Commission’s proposal on the harmonisation of work permits for nationals from third countries violates subsidiarity and would pass up to Brussels the powers that are essential to the Member States in order to regulate their respective labour markets. More specifically, such centralisation would cause several problems. It would make a system that needs to remain flexible and easily adaptable to the local needs of each Member State more rigid. It would place the Member States in the position of constantly having to defend themselves, as demonstrated by the provision of Article 29, paragraph 4 of the draft directive, which I quoted in the debate, which states that refusals of work permits must be justified.
Finally, it would open the door to a series of other harmonisations, which the European Parliament is well aware of, as with its amendments it has raised its bid for a softer approach. There was evidence of this from the rapporteur himself when he asked, at the start of his explanatory statement, for an end to the policy of halting immigration that has been largely practised so far. Such statements at least clarify the hidden intentions of the text. We condemn this policy, which involves centralisation in order to disarm us further, and we obviously voted against it."@en1
