lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as a Social Democrat from new EU Member State Estonia, I continue to be concerned about the spread and entrenchment of double standards within the European Union. Last Monday a directive concerning ‘citizens of third countries’ entered into force. This created an absurd situation in which the citizens of the new Member States are not even second-class citizens in the labour market. Circumstances have conspired to make possible a situation in which the European Union’s labour market is open to the citizens of certain third countries, but is not open to the citizens of other third countries that meet the same requirements. But who are we defending from whom in this European Union of 25 members? I have already demanded an explanation from the Minister of Economics and Labour Martin Bartenstein as to when we may expect to see results from Austria’s work as holder of the presidency of the European Union, as regards the opening of the labour market. Last Wednesday the minister was unable to give me a straight answer to my question. I would like to emphasise that issues concerning the opening of the labour market will remain among my priorities. The free movement of people is one of the four main freedoms of the European Union. The prevention of that freedom can only be approved in exceptional cases."@en1
