".
I fully subscribe to the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market’s interpretation of Article 63(3)(a) of the EC Treaty presented in the opinion appended to this report. I believe that by seeking to harmonise all regulatory material concerning immigration for the purpose of employment, the Commission’s proposal far exceeds any possible grammatical, logical, systematic or teleological interpretation of these rules, in flagrant breach of the principle of subsidiarity.
Similarly, both the Commission proposal and this report claim that the need for legislation to be harmonised – which would justify this interpretation that goes beyond the Treaties but which contravenes these same Treaties – is based on certain factors, which are invoked, despite the fact that no real evidence for them is presented.
In fact, it is impractical ‘to take account of the European Union’s labour needs’. I believe that the differences between national legislation are quite acceptable and not damaging; any attempt to artificially standardise this field will be counterproductive and I think that the way in which it is blithely claimed that access will be opened both to external borders and to intra-Community movement is dangerous, because this overlooks the fact that the lack of security is one of the issues of greatest concern to the Union’s citizens.
I therefore voted against the report."@en1
