"I endorsed the European Parliament resolution on promoting workers’ mobility within the European Union. I think this initiative will improve the legal situation of workers in the Member States of the Union. The free movement of workers is a strategy being pursued as part of the single market, which is why support for further initiatives in this area is so important.
In transitional periods, Member States were granted the right to apply temporary restrictions on opening their labour markets to the new Member States. This was because Member States were afraid of an influx of immigrants from the poorer Member States, the loss of work by citizens of the receiving countries and a reduction in the level of earnings brought about by the influx of cheaper labour. However, none of these kinds of danger have yet materialised. Therefore, I think our objective should be to support a policy of developing the movement of workers. It is necessary to strengthen the law affecting workers throughout the European Union.
I also think it is necessary to adapt legislation within Member States to ensure that it does not hinder the employment of workers from other Member States. It is essential to monitor and support employment policy at national level. Issues such as discrimination, granting social rights or the rights granted to family members are very important matters which require support and also cooperation at national and European level."@en1
