"Mr President, I think it is clear that for all of us the legislation that we are talking about this evening maybe is not the most perfect that we would have hoped for. However I think many of us see it as a positive step forward, and certainly analysis of it that has been done says that it may be positive in terms of integration for the many thousands of people affected by the legislation.
It is a simplification in terms of putting together the residence and work permit as a single piece of paperwork. That, we know, was controversial, as well in the way in which it was discussed. But it should be a simplification and, as has been pointed out, there is a due requirement of time so that these applications should not be left sitting on desks as they so often are in many of our Member States.
In terms of the rights section of it – which the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs was largely dealing with – I think we have made some progress there. The most important part of it is that we are looking at equality of treatment with Member State nationals in a large number of places, not least in terms of pay, rights of freedom of association and the right to educational/vocational training so that people are actually able to improve their skills base, which is for their own benefit and for the benefit of the company with which they work.
The social security dimension is also important and I think that the changes that Parliament managed to make on pensions is one which we should be proud of."@en1
