lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to begin by thanking all my colleagues from every political group who made it possible to include this debate on the agenda for the plenary session in December and not in January, when it would have been far too late. This oral question with a resolution, which I initiated along with my colleagues, Mr Ungureanu and Mr Marinescu, is being debated at a crucial juncture when the labour market restrictions are being discussed. By using an extremely vague phrase from European legislation, ‘severe disturbance in the labour market’, these states have simply split the internal market by violating one of the four fundamental freedoms. Commissioner, new developments in the status of mobile workers from Romania and Bulgaria emerge every day that goes by. So far, the Netherlands and the UK have decided, for no reason, to extend these restrictions. I should emphasise that this measure has been taken at a time when the old Member States have an ageing population and a young workforce is needed so as to have someone to pay us our pensions. I hope that the other Member States which have not yet announced their decision on extending the restrictions will follow the example of Germany, which has shown confidence in the professionalism of Romanian workers. Commissioner, I wonder how some governments can use the argument of disturbances in the labour market when even employers and SMEs in their own country are asking for the restrictions on Romanian and Bulgarian workers to be lifted. I feel that it is precisely the refusal of these governments to allow supply to meet demand that is causing imbalances in the labour market. I wish to express again my regret that there are Member States which prefer to retain these restrictions, while inventing someone to blame and excuses to make to their own electorate for the economic situation which a section of the population are in."@en1
