".
I will answer the honourable Member by giving my own example. I come from Portugal, which before entering the Union was supposed to be preparing to invade it. There were many fears surrounding the Portuguese and the Spanish too, Mr President, if I recall correctly – the Portuguese and Spaniards were about to invade Europe.
In real terms, our assessment is that joining the Union presents such a huge opportunity for economic development in those countries that join the Union that migratory fluxes are limited. There are special rules written into the accession treaties concerning the free movement of workers during transitional periods. We therefore have the necessary legal framework to guarantee that everything will be handled carefully, swiftly and in a very reasonable way. I hope that message gets through to the British public."@en1
