"The internal market can do a great deal, but it is definitely not the ultimate answer to the economic crisis and it certainly cannot be the answer if we continue to ignore situations where it has clearly reached its limits. Just one of many examples concerns the bogus self-employed workers in the building trade, who work as wage slaves in Austria and Germany. Frankfurt has become the centre of the ‘Bulgarian industry’. According to German tax investigators, between 10 000 and 17 000 bogus self-employed people are working in Frankfurt. The real figure is probably much higher. This brings major cost benefits for the construction companies, which would have to pay a domestic worker around EUR 35 per hour, whereas the bogus self-employed people generally cost as little as EUR 10. This cannot be what was intended when the internal market was established. While the fundamental freedoms are being exploited to the detriment of domestic companies, subcontractors and workers, the internal market scoreboard serves no useful purpose, regardless of how efficient it is. Since this fact is often ignored within the EU, I have voted against this report."@en1
