"The mobility of employees within the European Union has been treated as a potential problem for a long time. Although the concept of free movement of employees is present in the Treaties, Member States are allowed to introduce temporary restrictions on this. The reason is almost always the same: the large influx of immigrants from poorer to more prosperous states and the threat that the citizens of the recipient state may lose their jobs. These fears, however, are unfounded. Employee mobility has a beneficial effect on the whole of the EU.
In spite of this, only a small amount of employees use their right to free movement. We need urgent harmonisation of national and EU regulations. Current EU strategies must be adjusted to the impacts of employee mobility and the increasingly important role of SMEs. It is paramount to involve SMEs in the process, because their growth ensures the creation of new jobs.
Information and knowledge are also a matter of priority. The current level of information provision is inadequate in many Member States. Employee mobility must receive better support and information must be easily accessible for everyone involved. Enhanced efforts are also required in the area of training programmes. The harmonisation of educational policies and the acceleration of the mutual recognition of diplomas must be treated as a priority in order to achieve a better consensus on how to prepare the active population for any market changes and the prevailing competitive constraints."@en1
