"Worker mobility is one of the fundamental freedoms underpinning the idea of European integration. In this sense, I support any initiative simplifying the free movement of workers in the EU for the purposes of work. I do not agree, however, with European institutions and legislation meddling in the area of family policy under the pretext of greater labour market flexibility.
The definition of the family and family policy falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Member States. It concerns me that the rapporteur for this otherwise inspiring report has decided to exceed his remit. Section 21 interferes with Member States definitions of the family, which includes sexual orientation. I cannot, on principle, agree to this attempt to prescribe to Member States indirectly what different forms of cohabitation they should consider a family or a marriage."@en1
