"Mr President, as a member of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, I have taken a close interest in the report by Ms Bastos on the 20 main concerns of citizens and businesses. Our debate on this report has also been linked to our debate on the 20th anniversary of the single market. For 20 years it has supposedly been possible to exercise the freedom of movement of goods, people, services and capital in the single market, our area of living, trade and freedom.
Firstly, I was interested in the fact that one of the leading concerns expressed by European citizens was the difficulty of having professional qualifications recognised, and on this we really need to be particularly proactive and effective. That is what our citizens are expecting of us: that we succeed in setting up, in the very near future, recognition procedures for their certificates, skills and professional qualifications that are genuinely more rapid, simpler, more effective and less costly. This is a real challenge.
As shadow rapporteur for the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) on this matter, the modernisation of these procedures, I am actively working with the other members of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection on a genuine response to this major challenge of mobility. More mobility for more of Europe: that is what our fellow citizens are asking for."@en1
