"Madam President, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality contributed an opinion to this report for which I was the rapporteur. The free movement of workers is unquestionably one of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the EU, contributing to greater economic and social cohesion. Considerable progress has already been achieved in this area, but there are still legal and administrative obstacles to mobility in the EU.
The Commission report on the application of the directive of 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move freely within the territories of the Member States showed that transposition of the directive is less satisfactory in relation to family members. It is therefore necessary for individuals to be properly informed about their rights and options, including the rights of their families. In relation to the free movement of persons, I would mainly like to emphasise here that family members and partners – and ‘partners’ is an important word – should be given the same rights and provided with adequate services, such as child care facilities, nurseries, schools, health services and so on. I am therefore pleased that the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs has incorporated the opinion of my own Committee regarding family members into its report."@en1
