"European citizens and their families have the right to move and reside freely in the territory of the Member States. Living and working in another Member State is a fundamental right of any European citizen, although the figures show that few people – 2.3% – make use of it at the moment. Worker mobility is socio-economically important, for both the EU and the Member States, and also makes a positive contribution to pursuit of the employment targets set in the Europe 2020 strategy. Several obstacles to, and restrictions on, the full implementation of this fundamental freedom still remain, which violate this right and also make it difficult for the EU’s economies to recover. Moreover, they can have counterproductive effects, such as increased illegal work, the exploitation of workers and the expansion of the parallel economy.
I support the promotion of professional mobility on the basis of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and long-term strategy prohibiting all existing legal, administrative and practical obstacles to the free movement of workers. I would stress the need to develop a consistent, efficient and transparent policy focused on the needs of the labour market and on economic trends; to step up solidarity and responsibility sharing among Member States; and to set out a clear legal system regarding legal migration."@en1
