lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this directive calls for common rights for third-party migrants working in the EU. If adopted it would remove what little rights remain or are still left to Member States to determine their own immigration policy. It wants third-party migrants to enjoy comparable rights to those of EU nationals, including working conditions, social security and access to public services. But of course not all Member States have the same level of social security and public services, and of course a citizen of a state, by definition, enjoys the benefits of that citizenship, or should enjoy the benefits of that citizenship that non-citizens do not. If citizens do not have exclusive rights, then the concept of citizenship itself is meaningless. What this will mean is that third-party migrants will flood to those states that have the highest levels of public housing, social security and public services. No prizes for guessing that Britain will be top of their list as a destination. Equally unsurprisingly, I can tell you that UK Independence Party MEPs will vote against this directive."@en1
