"As already mentioned in this Chamber, almost four years on from joining the European Union, we are witnessing this divide which is posing a challenge not only to the integration project, but also to a reality summarised in the recommendation from the European Commission which, just two years ago, was highlighting the positive impact of labour market mobility in the wake of Romania’s and Bulgaria’s accession.
Free movement of workers is a fundamental principle and the current state of affairs only helps confirm how absurd the restriction is which has been imposed on Romanians and Bulgarians. The European economy is feeling the impact of the ageing population and labour shortage in certain areas, thereby making worker migration a necessary solution.
At the same time, we have debated the Roma crisis in France this week, which could have been avoided if these European citizens could have found a job and not been kept at the margins of society, including these employment bans. Unfortunately, instead of treating the causes, some people imagine that they can resolve something by applying police measures to the effects. This shows a lack of realism, which is disappointingly intertwined with the hypocrisy of double standards.
Prostitution, begging and crime are also consequences of poverty exacerbated by having no job opportunities. The only viable solution is fair, non-discriminatory treatment for all European Union citizens."@en1
