"The Schengen area and, in particular, freedom of movement, is an
that genuinely means something to our citizens. President Barroso reminded us that ‘freedom of movement is to Europe what foundations are to a building’. Free movement is one of the Union’s greatest achievements. I am delighted that Parliament has approved Bulgaria and Romania joining the Schengen area. Huge efforts have been made to guarantee border security: their fourth generation surveillance systems are far more impressive than our second generation models. Yet there are still barriers to the free movement of workers: firstly, legal and administrative obstacles that affect all aspects of citizens’ lives; secondly, social dumping: although Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union guarantees equal treatment for workers, the work of the Committee on Petitions proves that the reality is quite different; thirdly, social protection, which varies from one country to the next and so does not encourage mobility. I would therefore like to propose a minimum basic social protection for the Union. Although social protection falls under the competence of the Member States, the lack of harmonisation is clearly damaging the Internal Market."@en1
