"We defend an efficient internal market and fully support the free movement of workers within the EU. This is one of the fundamental freedoms under the EC Treaty. The free movement of workers helps to create more jobs and to strengthen the EU’s competitiveness. We are proud that Sweden is one of the three countries not to have introduced any transitional rules.
We regret that the Heads of State or Government decided to introduce transitional arrangements in the accession agreement with the ten new Member States. At the same time, we respect the fact that individual Member States choose to act on the basis of the opportunities provided by the accession agreement entered into.
In the report, the European Parliament calls on the Member States to abolish the current transitional arrangements. We believe that this issue should be decided on by individual Member States at national level. We are thus opposed to the European Parliament shaping opinion with a view to influencing the Member States to take a particular line on this important issue.
Nor do we believe that the EU should carry out information campaigns concerning the free movement of workers. We have every confidence that the respective national authorities can carry out this task satisfactorily. We also question the proposal to introduce a scheme for ‘the systematic monitoring of migration of workers within the EU’ and to provide the necessary funds for this purpose (paragraph 11).
We have chosen to vote against this report."@en1
