lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I should like to draw attention to the deplorable situation of migrant workers in the Union and the legal limbo they often find themselves in. I am not talking about illegal or economic immigrants, but legal migrant workers from Member States of the EU, new and old, who in my own region are predominantly Portuguese and Polish. I want to illustrate the situation by referring to my own country, but the situation is the same across the European Union. We in the United Kingdom have a workers’ registration scheme whereby individuals can register upon payment of GBP 70 (EUR 100), so that after 12 months they are entitled to draw social benefits. To do that, however, they need a national insurance number. We have a Catch-22 situation here: to get a number you need to make an appointment, but the phones go unanswered; so, no appointment, no national insurance number, no signing up for the workers’ registration scheme, no legal basis for work, no protection and no benefits."@en1
