"I voted for the resolution on discriminatory Internet sites and government reactions because the right to protection against discrimination on the grounds of nationality and against discrimination on the grounds of race or ethnic origin is stipulated in Articles 18 and 10 respectively of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). In addition, Article 21 of TFEU is devoted to the free movement of citizens in the EU, while Article 45 of TFEU is devoted to the free movement of workers in the EU. We should point out that workers from the countries which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 have had a positive impact on the economies of Member States, making a substantial contribution to the sustained economic growth in the EU, and have not caused any upset on the labour markets. We call on the Netherlands Government to reply promptly to the letters sent by the Commission concerning the relevant legislation, which could breach Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of Union citizens and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States, and to comply with the requests expressed by the European Parliament in its resolutions. We call on the Commission and Council to make every effort to halt the spread of xenophobic attitudes like those expressed on the website being discussed, and to ensure that the Framework Directive concerning racism and xenophobia is implemented in every Member State."@en1
