"Mr President, this is an interesting subject. Freedom of movement should be an essential right for all Europeans. Many workers from across the Union have benefited from that freedom and many countries have benefited accordingly.
In my own country, during the Celtic Tiger years, we benefited hugely from the influx of labour, particularly from the eastern countries. They made a great contribution and helped to create the Celtic Tiger, but now the Celtic Tiger is dead and Ireland is seen as a negative country. Many people are leaving the country and many young people, in particular, cannot find employment.
Looking at it in the long term, the only way to guarantee true freedom of movement of workers would be to have common remuneration rates right across the European Union and common social benefits. That is a long way off and, particularly in these recessionary times, it is almost foolish to be talking about it. Ultimately, that is the way to guarantee the situation and ensure the freedom that we long to achieve."@en1
