lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I have just come from the last meeting of the Charter of Fundamental Rights in Brussels. Those rights are very important, but one of the basic rights of the citizens of the EU is to have free movement for themselves and the goods which some of them may wish to carry. For the last few weeks many of them have been unable to enjoy these rights as a result of various disruptions at a number of border points, including the Channel ports, but inland as well. We were warned by DG II that there might well be difficulties today. Many of us, therefore, changed our travel arrangements. I saw members of the Commission this summer to ask them about compensation which is paid, where claimed and appropriate, to those who carry goods and are blocked from doing so. But under our regulations there is no provision whatsoever for citizens – either on tourism or business – to claim such compensation. I asked for an urgency this week. I appreciate that there are many other urgent matters to consider. The Conference of Presidents turned down my request for this urgency, but this matter continues day after day, week after week. I ask you, therefore, to press the Commission to bring forward regulations as quickly as possible to give citizens the same rights as those that carry goods, in the event of them being prevented from enjoying the free movement to which they are entitled."@en1
