lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am both angry and sad. Why? Because I am not getting a straight answer from the Council or the Commission. Within this internal market, we are in favour of the free movement of goods, people and services. I have included people, for this is particularly a problem in border regions. However, the answers that I am receiving are inadequate. If I consider my own region, I notice that the labour market there can no longer function without workers from abroad. Needless to say, we must make the conditions attractive for these people to come. This means, first of all, that we must ensure that shop-floor workers who work in a Member State pay both taxes and social premiums in the same way. I would therefore like to know whether it would not be possible to draft a kind of 1408 that applies to the fiscal status of border workers. This is my first question. My second question is directed at the Council concerning what is so nicely termed ‘Council parameters’. Incidentally, I very much regret that the Commissioner is not present, for he is truly competent in this field and knows how long this issue has been outstanding. Studying these Council parameters – and, Mr Miguelez, I hold you in very high esteem – I note that what you have written in the Council parameters is diametrically opposed to what has been presented to us in recent jurisdiction by the European Court of Justice. And I wonder whether you really believe that you can get this issue, in which Parliament has also been involved since Amsterdam in terms of codecision, approved. For the aspects you mention, such as sickness benefit and child benefit, are incompatible with what has been pronounced, and the Commissioner will back this up. So, with all due respect to Mrs Lambert, for she made some valid points on third-country problems, among others, which I endorse, a change is needed here."@en1
