"The free movement of labour is a perennial thorny issue in the European Union. Why should the Commission have to consider measures for opening up the market specifically in the case of Bulgaria and Rumania? In the current economic crisis, it would surely be far better to find excuses ‘justifying’ the opening up of the labour market. It is a well-known fact that all of the so-called new Member States of the EU are populated by second-class citizens. The question for the Commission should rather be: What do you intend to do about it? By the way, in the recruitment of staff to look after the technical side of running EU institutions, the requirement is still to be proficient in two of the 11 languages of the original 15. Or has this rule now been changed? If we take a look, ladies and gentlemen, at our parliamentary passes, we still see in them – more than six years after the EU expanded to include the countries of central Europe – only the 11 languages of the ‘old’ 15. Is that not also discrimination against the new Member States? Also, does it comply with the Treaty of Lisbon and with the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights?"@en1
