"Madam President, it is very interesting when we look at this idea of a single application procedure for residents and work. Surely one of the things we should ensure is that, where we have existing rules and existing laws, we actually abide by them.
But I have received a number of e-mails and letters from constituents who now live in Italy and lecture at Italian universities. They are discriminated against in contravention of EU law. Italian law allows Italian universities to pay Italian lecturers more than British and other non-Italian lecturers. So, when the ECJ rules on this, what do the Italians do? They simply ignore the rules! But are they alone? Of course they are not alone. The French and Germans and other governments ignored the Stability and Growth Pact, so how can we expect anyone to abide by the rules when we have that example to follow?
For goodness sake, if you are going to pass laws in this place, please at least accept the laws and please make sure you abide by the rules before you start implementing and passing even more onerous laws that affect all our citizens."@en1
