"It would be preferable for the problems that are still outstanding with regard to the coordination of the systems, such as supplementary pension rights, double taxation and so on, to be eradicated. However, in the interests of democratic development in particular, it remains open to question whether the measures to promote worker mobility, which also go hand in hand with the loosening of family ties, are sensible at all if we look at the bigger picture. In the process of accepting new Member States with low wage levels, transitional periods for the labour market were agreed. Ultimately, a large flow of immigrants from poorer countries into more prosperous regions goes hand in hand with falling wages and job losses.
When a study reaches the conclusion that, on account of a convergence of labour demand and supply, immigration from low wage countries has no negative effects, but is actually beneficial, I have to ask myself whether this study was only carried out for the labour areas where there has already been massive pressure on prices for a long time on account of (illegal) immigration. The extent to which this study included ostensible self-employment and ‘mac-jobs’, which are only recent phenomena, is also open to question. I voted against the report on account of the labour market problem."@en1
