"Mr President, labour mobility gives citizens all across Europe the opportunity to move and work abroad. It allows labour supply to satisfy labour demand and is integral to the success of the single market.
This directive will facilitate the application of this fundamental freedom and will make everyone more aware of what their rights are, rather than the myths they have heard. It reinforces the idea that nationality should not be an obstacle to working in another Member State.
For example, a young person from Birmingham in my constituency could decide to teach English in Spain without worrying that she will have to jump through extra hoops to access employment. If she does, or if she finds a job where she is paid less than a national worker doing the same job, there will be a body in that Member State ready to advise her, and she will have access to judicial redress if necessary. If a man from Shropshire finds a job in Austria to be with his Austrian wife, he will not be prevented from accessing vocational training programmes offered to national workers because of his nationality.
These are the opportunities which EU citizens must be able to access and which Member States should uphold. I know that citizens have concerns about the effects of labour mobility on local services, and these concerns need to be heeded. We need to ensure that abuse by EU or national citizens is strongly dealt with at national level and that successful local integration, as well as efficient local services, are central to any action taken. We should be open, proactive and engaging when dealing with these local issues, rather than considering that pulling up the drawbridge and preventing our citizens and our young people from accessing these opportunities is the way forward."@en1
