"When the EU expanded to incorporate peoples in the east, many citizens of these countries wanted to head west in search of better living conditions, particularly higher wages. However, some Member States, fearing increased insecurity, closed their borders to these EU citizens. This own-initiative report, drafted by Mr Ungureanu, concerns the mobility of workers within the EU and is based on the principle, agreed by all the Member States, that the freedom of movement of people and goods is an unalienable right. Every EU citizen has the right to seek work in the west. There is also a need to debunk the idea that the influx of such workers is something negative, not only because they contribute to European integration, especially at a time when there is a shortage of skilled labour in certain sectors, but also because they account for a one per cent increase in gross domestic product for the host Member State. I am therefore voting for this report, which calls for an end to legislative proposals undermining the rights of EU citizens."@en1
