"Madam President, at European Union level, there is no such thing as ‘our terms’ and ‘your terms’, only European Union terms. The free movement of persons is one of the basic freedoms guaranteed by the Treaties, which includes the right for EU citizens to live and work in another Member State. The contribution made by migrant workers from the new Member States to the development of the economies of the host states is universally recognised.
We call for the lifting of the barriers preventing the free movement of Romanian and Bulgarian workers and for respect for all workers’ fundamental social rights. Lifting these barriers will protect both migrant and host state workers equally. Maintaining these barriers creates conditions for social dumping and affects both workers in the host state and migrant workers who are obliged to accept jobs below their level of qualifications and with a salary lower than that received by a local worker with the same skills.
We call on the EU and Member States to prevent the exploitation of migrant workers, prevent migrants being recruited to work in precarious working and social welfare conditions, and ensure that migrant workers’ families have access to education, health care services and decent housing."@en1
