"Parliament voted to designate 2013 European Year of Citizens with the aim of raising awareness of EU citizenship. Events will be organised during 2013 to explain the rights of citizens who decide to study, work, set up a business or draw their pension in another Member State. I have deep concerns about the free movement of people and the strains it puts on public services and manners in which these rights can, and indeed are, abused. I therefore cannot sanction a programme which will effectively endorse and promote the passage of people across the Union, granting them the same benefits as those citizens already resident in a nation when austerity and economic problems could see droves of people relocating, placing unprecedented strain upon domestic exchequers. It is my belief that Member States need the ability to control their own borders and set out their own package of benefits to encourage immigration that balances with the workforce need and the level of emigration taking place."@en1
