lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the internal market with its four fundamental freedoms has now existed for 20 years, and it has undoubtedly benefited Europe’s citizens. To exploit its full potential, problems need to be identified and resolved as close to citizens as possible. Agencies such as SOLVIT are an important instrument in this regard. The people who work there are quick and efficient. Unfortunately, they are often understaffed, and here it would be better to invest in personnel rather than setting up another ineffectual EU agency, the benefits of which EU citizens find not very convincing. While the internal market can certainly do a lot, it cannot be the ultimate answer to the economic crisis – especially not if the limits of the internal market are ignored. For example, bogus self-employed workers from the East in the building trade, who are kept more or less as wage slaves in Austria and Germany. The newspaper calls Frankfurt the capital of Bulgarian industry. According to tax investigators, around 10 000 to 17 000 bogus self-employed people are currently working in Frankfurt. The number of unreported cases is likely to be much higher. This undoubtedly has great advantages for the building companies. They would have to pay a domestic worker around EUR 35 per hour, whereas the bogus self-employed generally come in at a reasonable EUR 10. That surely is not what the internal market is there for; in this case, the fundamental freedoms are being exploited to the detriment of both domestic companies and workers."@en1
