"The European Parliament has voted in favour of the principle of creating a single work and residence permit for third-country nationals in a Member State. This procedure provides a set of common rights for these workers, particularly with regard to working conditions, such as working time and holidays. The text also sets out the principle of reimbursing pension contributions already made by workers who leave the EU, since they will be unable to receive their pensions after they retire. This text is problematic, however, since it reinforces the ‘country of origin’ principle for some categories of workers, a principle that was fought by the European left during the time of the famous ‘Bolkestein’ Directive. This principle creates a kind of two-speed labour market depending on the worker’s origin, and contributes to a form of social dumping. There is a contradiction here: do we really want to protect the European social model, and should it exclude non-European workers, or should it take a universalist approach and stop discriminating against workers by giving them different rights? This text does not yet resolve this fundamental issue, which is why I decided to abstain from voting on the text."@en1
