"Mr President, a great many arguments have already been put forward in this debate; I would like to avoid repeating them, if at all possible. I would first of all like to thank Mr Cabrnoch for his excellent work, and what I would essentially like to point out is that as MEPs, we are often asked by citizens what it is we are actually working on here in Parliament. Well, if there is a good way to demonstrate that the Commission and Parliament can accomplish something useful together, then this seemingly technical issue we are debating right now is a very good demonstration that through sensible, useful cooperation, we are capable of assisting our fellow citizens who are making use of the freedom of movement and entrepreneurship in an expanded Europe in retaining the rights they acquired and in enjoying the benefits of those rights.
A particular merit of the current debate, consultation and joint work is that they are based on the proposals of the Commission’s expert committee, that they take into account relevant Member State experience, and that Parliament and the MEPs, too, are seeking to resolve these seemingly technical issues at first reading. It is as it has been mentioned multiple times. New forms of entrepreneurship, new types of contracts, and new, far more mobile employment opportunities have emerged in the EU. We are struggling in several fields to create a legal framework and legal rules to regulate and clearly address them. I believe that this matter stands as a truly good example that if we are willing, we are able to find appropriate solutions.
I find the new rules concerning self-employed people and aircrew members to be particularly positive. I, too, believe that the formulation of the concept of home base gives rise to new and creative opportunities. Once again, let me thank both the Commission and Mr Cabrnoch for their work; I hope that it will indeed prove to be useful. Coordination, by the way, is an issue that we will be discussing on many more occasions, as it is a matter that needs to be re-examined year after year."@en1
