"I have taken note of the decisions of the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is without doubt a prerogative of those countries, as for any other Member State. Prior to these decisions, I used the United Kingdom and Ireland as a benchmark when arguing the case for opening the labour markets of the other Member States to the candidate countries. I am proud of having in my previous capacity helped the Prime Minister of the Member State I know best to draft his speech on 1 May 2004 when he declared that Member State – Finland – was likely to remove the restrictions on free movement of workers from the new Member States. That particular Member State maintains the same liberal practice for Bulgaria and Romania.
The point is that on the basis of very reliable studies there are overall positive effects, but at the same time we want to leave it to the Member States – and we have to leave it to the Member States because that is the decision of the Council of the European Union, which is the highest decision-making body in cases of this kind in the Union."@en1
