lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Council has made a great many appropriate, intelligent and rational proposals. Unfortunately, it has failed to make any reference in its proposal to the issue that is of most importance to the citizens of the new Member States, namely genuinely equal rights in employment. Those citizens of the new Member States who take a serious and earnest approach to European integration cannot and indeed will not tolerate a situation in which 12 of the old EU Member States, with the exception of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden, continue to treat people from the new Member States, such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, like second-class citizens. They are given jobs, but only in the black economy. They manage to earn money, but a great deal less than the residents of the pre-enlargement EU as it was before May 2004. The Council should not bury its head in the sand and hope that this problem will go away. This matter does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Commission, but of the Council. A full and immediate liberalisation of labour markets really would revolutionise the EU economy, and prove to the citizens of the new EU Member States that there is no such thing as a first-class Europe and a second-class Europe."@en1
