"Madam President, I think this report dismantling the obstacles to EU citizens’ rights is a very worthwhile report and it could prove useful to citizens. I do not agree with everything that is in it but certainly, as a member of the Committee on Petitions, and indeed in my own general work as an MEP, I am very conscious of the problems and obstacles that are faced by citizens when they are trying to exercise their right to free movement and, indeed, that of their families as well.
Now in this context, I voted for the first part of Amendment 1 on freedom of movement for citizens, but the second part of Amendment 1 gave me some problems because I had some concerns about its wording when it asked that we recognise freedom of movement for all EU citizens, etc. on the basis of mutual recognition. I am very happy to support Directive 2004/38/EC, where freedom of movement for family members is guaranteed on the basis of legislation of the host Member State but not on any other basis. I also support that this directive should be strictly applied, as that will eliminate some of the obstacles I spoke of, when people are trying to exercise their rights to free movement, but I am not prepared to go beyond that."@en1
