"Madam President, we frequently hear that the EU gives us the right to live and work in other countries, but allow me to tell you about Simon Butler, a British ski instructor who was arrested, handcuffed, and dragged off the slopes in front of his class as if he were a common criminal. Had he committed a crime? No. His only crime was that the French did not think his qualifications were good enough. We are talking about a man who easily qualifies as a UK instructor, so why were his qualifications not recognised? This is unfair. We are not talking about a criminal: we are talking about a law-abiding citizen whom the French ski and police authorities clearly want to victimise. I have asked Commissioner Barnier to meet me and discuss this issue and I await his response."@en1
