".
In its sitting today, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the full free movement of workers within the European Union. This resolution, which was added to the sitting agenda at the last minute, was not examined at all beforehand within the relevant committee. This resolution aimed to open Member States’ labour markets completely to Romanian and Bulgarian workers. I decided to vote against it, based on the clause enshrined in the Treaties that enables this full opening of labour markets to be postponed by two years. Every day, I support the free movement of workers in accordance with the EU Treaties as a member of the European Parliament’s Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. However, the unprecedented crisis that we are currently experiencing and the significantly high unemployment levels, affecting young people in particular, force us to target all of our efforts at national level to get our citizens back on the path to employment. As permanent rapporteur on the European Social Fund (ESF) in the 27 Member States, I am firmly committed to supporting European citizens’ integration into the labour market to help them achieve social integration. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that in this difficult economic period, we cannot accept everything."@en1
