"Mr President, people have spoken about their areas. London, which I represent, is home to one million EU nationals, and many will tell you that one of the problems is a lack of awareness of rights, not people abusing them. Also, free movement is one of the most popular rights of the European Union, which may explain why certain people are so busy attacking it at the moment.
I wanted to say a couple of words about coordination of social security, given that I worked on that for 10 years in this Parliament. It is about the same rights as nationals; it is about the same qualifying periods as nationals; it has been the practice for years – possibly the sixth piece of legislation ever put in place by the European Union – and the current rules were passed by unanimity in Council.
We have heard a lot about why people move. It is not just about salaries, when they take that into account – it is also the cost of living. So do not assume that a higher salary automatically means that people get a better quality of life if they choose to move."@en1
