lpv:translated text	"The creation through the Schengen Agreement of a European area without border controls was an important step in constructing an open internal market with free movement of people and goods. For this same reason, the crucial aim upon which the agreement is based is to allow the free movement of individuals within an area where there are no internal borders. As a result, it seems to us absurd that citizens who are from outside the EU but who possess long-stay visas provided by one of the States which are party to the Schengen Agreement may not move freely within this area. The examples given by the rapporteur seem to us to be evidence of the absurdity which this system represents in practice. For this reason, I agree with the Commission’s proposal, in the wording suggested by Parliament, to treat long-stay visas as residence permits, thus ensuring freedom of movement for their holders."@en1
