lpv:translated text	"I am not greatly surprised by the initiative from the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) because this is just one in a series of such actions intended to stigmatise certain groups of immigrants, which is something that we have become used to from the European far right for some time. However, I am indeed surprised by the muted response of the Dutch Government to this initiative which tramples on the European Union’s values by inciting intolerance and discrimination. Poland, Romania and Bulgaria are fully-fledged EU Member States, and their citizens must be treated as such and not as some second-class citizens. The free movement of workers is a fundamental freedom enshrined in the Treaty which the Netherlands has signed. This is therefore a freedom which the Netherlands must respect and facilitate at all times, not only when Dutch companies have access to the markets of Central and Eastern Europe. Nevertheless, I do not support the call for a boycott of Dutch products made by some of my colleagues because this goes against the principles of the internal market and because I firmly believe that this initiative is not supported by most of Dutch society. I have even received messages of support from Dutch citizens who have clearly distanced themselves from the action taken by the PVV. However, I also expect the Dutch Government likewise to distance itself from and strongly condemn this initiative."@en1
