"Free movement of persons in the internal market is one of the EU’s greatest successes and advantages, and this naturally presupposes a properly functioning common labour market. At the same time, the right of the Member States to choose their own welfare models must, however, be respected. Certain Member States select a combination of high taxes, comprehensive public services and generous subsidies, while others go for low taxes and a more rudimentary welfare model. It is not possible, then, to allow Europeans to opt for low taxes in one country and, at the same time, claim the right to generous subsidies and support from another country. If that is allowed, the Member States will be forced to introduce the same welfare model. The European peoples’ ability to determine their own future will be undermined in a further area.
The June List wants to see a proper review of the growing influence of EU rules within social and labour market policy. We therefore choose to vote against the report, which calls for further limitation upon the Member States’ room for manoeuvre in some of the most central areas of democratic economic policy."@en1
