"Mr President, if you start with the premise that admitting seasonal workers was an economic necessity and would happen anyway, there might be something to be said for at least part of this report. The conditions of work of the seasonal workers in Rosarno, where we went in 2010, were truly appalling. Allowing those sorts of conditions, wages and accommodation to be tolerated would be inhumane and would encourage employers to hire third-country workers before home or EU workers. However, allowing third-country workers to apply from within the EU for seasonal work would reward illegal migrants and encourage the entry of more. Allowing people admitted for another purpose to apply would invite abuse of the admission system. Nine to twelve months is more than a season. I should like to see the evidence for the conclusion that national and other EU workers would be unwilling to take seasonal work. Many long-term unemployed would be pleased to have paid work with accommodation provided in their own country, or at least in their own continent."@en1
