"We consider it very significant that this proposal for a directive on a single application procedure for a single residency and work permit has been rejected by a majority of the European Parliament, as Parliament’s text, already negotiated with the Council, only served the interests of large firms and economic groups. These groups were pressing for social dumping so that they could have a foreign workforce that they could exploit with low wages and few rights. Although put forth under the pretext of a single regulation, such groups in practice wanted to legalise social dumping, strengthen job insecurity, increase inequality and open the way for different outcomes and laws to put the principles of equality and justice for all workers into jeopardy. In some ways, they wished to resurrect the country of origin principle from the infamous Bolkestein Directive, which was rejected after concerted resistance by workers. Now, the resistance and arguments of workers and unions in various Member States has had repercussions for the European Parliament, demonstrating that the struggle has been worthwhile. Portuguese workers also contributed to this positive result, through the general strike of 24 November. However, it is necessary to maintain our vigilance."@en1
