lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to begin by thanking the rapporteur for the committee responsible. He has produced a very coherent opinion. I also want to thank the Commission for its good work in connection with the negotiations. With regard to my committee’s area of responsibility, that of citizens’ freedoms and rights, this agreement is welcome. I also want to emphasise that it is important to view the agreement in its entirety. In the course of my work on the opinion, I in fact became aware of quite a number of problems and difficulties for EU citizens who live and work in Switzerland. In certain cases, it has been a matter of discrimination pure and simple. There is no doubt that the agreement we now have provides great opportunities to solve those problems which exist and to prevent new problems from arising. In this connection, I would just mention, for example, the right of entry, the right of establishment, the opportunity to enter the labour market, the coordination of social security systems, the right of establishment for non-gainfully employed people and students, together with new opportunities for cross-border workers. I want to emphasise, as the rapporteur for the committee responsible pointed out, that it is important for our opinion to be made available before the referendum in Switzerland – not because it is for the Swiss to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the opinion, but to show our desire for cooperation, that is to say further cooperation, with Switzerland. Our committee has pointed out possible future areas of cooperation, for example operations to combat trafficking in women and to combat organised crime and economic crime. We view these agreements, especially the agreement concerning the free movement of persons, as being very important in the context of cooperation between the EU and Switzerland."@en1
