The joint motion for a resolution tabled by the Left seeks to interpret Directive 2004/38/EC in a way that I consider to be completely wrong in political terms, and unlawful.
The text of the directive is clear: there are limits to the freedom of movement in the Member States, and should it consider it appropriate, a government may repatriate EU citizens too. Furthermore, the resolution completely disregards a fundamental fact: Europe has already spent hundreds of millions of euro in recent years on social integration programmes for the Roma but with no positive outcome, given that the central problem is the extremely poor ability of Roma populations to integrate into the local social fabric.
A resolution that disregards the security needs which our Member States’ citizens are asking us to meet, and which, on the contrary, paves the way to an extremely broad interpretation of the principle of free movement of persons, marks a further step towards building a Europe out of touch with people’s sentiments and requirements. I therefore voted against the joint motion for a resolution."@en1
