lpv:translated text	". According freedom of movement to some of the EU’s citizens and not to others goes against the EU’s principles of equal treatment. Its system of quotas enables Switzerland to counteract any eventual adverse consequences arising from increased free movement of persons. Despite having voted in favour of the protocol, I wish to point out that what was termed the ‘visa affair’ in Germany has now taken on a new dimension. The ‘if in doubt, opt for freedom of movement’ ruling resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of visa applications by third-country nationals that were approved, to the extent that the number more than doubled, with many ‘tourists’ taking up employment in the black economy or ending up in prostitution. Such generosity, the consequences of which are as yet incalculable, might well fuel some Swiss people’s fears and misgivings to such a degree that the protocol will fail to be approved by the referendum that may be held in September. The eventual upshot of that would be that the EU would have to decide whether or not to withdraw from the Agreement on the free movement of persons rather than offend the new Member States."@en1
