"Mr President, the report we are discussing is about the coordination of social security systems. We are in favour of measures which guarantee that people are treated on an equal basis, including in the labour market. Accordingly, changes to legislation should be directed towards enabling workers and unemployed people to be more mobile. They should not be tied artificially to the place of their last employment just to allow them to obtain social security benefits. Therefore, the measures proposed in the Cabrnoch report are worthy of our support. Moves towards better coordination of social security systems will also allow application of the principles of adequacy. In this work, it is very important to ensure a balance is maintained between the need to be competitive and the need to protect workers.
The subject we are discussing is also related to the European Commission’s proposal put forward in March on increasing the protection of workers temporarily posted abroad. This is a similar subject, one we are going to discuss in the future, and it concerns as many as around a million European Union citizens who work on postings in other countries. Achieving a balance between competition and protection for workers is, I think, a most difficult but most necessary objective today, during a crisis, when Europe is having to face competition on a global scale. Thank you."@en1
