"The right of every European citizen to choose freely where to live and work within the European Union is one of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Treaties.
Unfortunately, this is exercised fairly rarely for reasons to do with linguistic, social and cultural differences, as well as with administrative and legal obstacles. The European Commission report published in 2008 makes it clear that mobile workers from the countries which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 have had a positive impact on Member States’ economies and have not created major difficulties for their labour markets.
However, at present, at the end of 2011, Bulgarian and Romanian citizens continue to face restrictions imposed on them by some EU Member States. I am expecting as soon as possible all Member States to allow Bulgarians and Romanians access to their labour markets. I think that restricting the mobility of workers is detrimental to Europe’s competitiveness. This encourages the informal economy, undeclared work and false self-employment.
During the current economic crisis, workers’ mobility would improve the interaction between the supply and demand for labour, thereby contributing to the European economy’s growth."@en1
