"Mr President, in the United Kingdom a few days ago, Prime Minister Cameron and the Home Secretary said on separate occasions that they would request a review of legislation on the freedom of movement of EU citizens and migration in the UK.
The UK’s Conservative Government needs to clarify what they want: an active and effective single market, which implies free movement of people, or the opposite – constraints and obstacles placed on this market and the freedom of movement for people. The two cannot happen simultaneously. Britain is one of the countries that still apply restrictions on the movement of labour for Bulgarian and Romanian citizens, and, moreover, in recent months the procedures for obtaining a work permit have become even more complicated.
The 15 000 Bulgarians in the UK make up only 0.3 % of the 5 million foreign workers there. It is clear that there is no immigration pressure. I would like to ask you, ladies and gentlemen, not to allow any country to jeopardise one of the most important achievements of the European Union – the free movement of people."@en1
