"Although the right to live and work in any country in the European Union is a basic aspect of European citizenship, recognised by the Treaties, the statistics show, nevertheless, that there are still too few people who exercise this right. In times of economic crisis, professional and geographical mobility of workers can help reduce unemployment by matching labour supply with demand, provide job creation opportunities, get the economy, society and demography to adapt to structural changes, as well as promote economic growth and the EU’s competitiveness. These barriers and restrictions infringe a fundamental right of workers, make it more difficult for EU economies to recover, and can generate counterproductive effects, such as illegal work and worker exploitation.
I think that the free movement of workers needs to be encouraged because it offers a positive socio-economic model for both the European Union and Member States, marking a milestone for integration which contributes to economic growth, social cohesion, personal professional development, tackling prejudices, racism and xenophobia, thereby also counteracting the adverse impact of the economic crisis."@en1
