"European integration is based on the principles of freedom of movement of citizens, including the free movement of workers, who enjoy protection from discrimination on the grounds of nationality, race or ethnic origin. The Member States therefore have an obligation to ensure that all EU citizens can live and work in Europe, without being discriminated against in any way. At the beginning of February, the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands launched an Internet hotline calling on people to report complaints arising from the ‘massive labour migration’ of ‘Central or Eastern European citizens’, thereby openly urging discrimination against EU workers from the countries of central and eastern Europe, and attacking their freedom of movement. This resolution, for which I voted, calls on the Netherlands Prime Minister to condemn and distance himself from this initiative, and calls on the Council to formally condemn the PVV hotline, since it is an affront to European values and principles. It calls on the Commission and the Council to do their utmost to stop the spread of xenophobic attitudes, and to ensure the effective implementation of the Framework Decision on Racism and Xenophobia in all Member States."@en1
