lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to say a few more words on the subject. Freedom of movement is one of the great achievements of the European Union. We must also make clear, however – and certain countries with lower standards will soon understand this, as their standards will be raised – that freedom of movement must not result in a kind of competition becoming the norm that involves dispensing with the social standards that have evolved. Europe must not stand for the abolition of social and workers’ rights that have been long fought for. For this reason, we should make clear that this has never been our policy, and that it is one that should never be implemented. If a job is done in one country, the same pay should be received for the same work. There must be no class society, with foreign workers working for less money. This is unfair on both sides; and that is why we should make this clear."@en1
