"This joint motion for a resolution, tabled by a number of parliamentary groups, has arisen because, owing to political pressures, some Member States have been placing labour-market restrictions on nationals of Romania and Bulgaria, contradicting the maxim that the EU is an area of free movement of goods and people. The right to live and work in any Member State is one of the fundamental freedoms of the EU, which also recognises the right to freedom from discrimination on the basis of nationality and to equality of treatment. Member States should abolish all barriers by the end of this year, as nothing justifies them economically. On the contrary, the Member States with the greatest number of Romanians and Bulgarians have seen increases in gross domestic product. Their economies have grown and there is no evidence that they have been a burden on the social security system or health services. As such, they have contributed to recovery from the crisis. I voted for this resolution, as we are all European citizens with the same rights and obligations. There is no sense in putting control mechanisms in place and/or restricting the free movement of workers, specifically Romanians or Bulgarians, without a clear and transparent socioeconomic justification for serious disturbance of the labour market."@en1
