"The report from my fellow Member, Mr Coelho, and also the draft regulation, concern the free movement of people, which is an essential element of democracy in the European Union, and it is therefore unacceptable to have persons holding long-stay visas in one Member State of the European Union not able to travel across the European Union.
There are several reasons to support the above initiatives. The first is respect and the upholding of fundamental human rights which, without doubt, includes the freedom of movement. If a Member State legalises the stay of a national from a third country, there is no reason why that person could not move freely within the Schengen area. Naturally, the details relating to not downgrading the level of security within the Schengen area should be elaborated.
There has also been talk here about students and scientists who were unable to travel to another Member State. I would like this group to be expanded further to include businesspeople, because if we do not allow them this, we will be reducing the European Union’s competitiveness. And therefore, I believe this proposal will find support and I congratulate the rapporteur."@en1
