"The free movement of people is one of the basic pillars underpinning the idea of European integration. The possibility of working in any Member State of the European Union enables EU citizens to react more flexibly to developments in labour markets. It also gives people the opportunity to seek the best use of their education and skills, regardless of borders. On the other hand, it also creates a healthy pressure on employers in the smaller Member States because it exposes them to wider competition. The issue of social security is closely related to work. If a single labour market is to work in Europe, we need to coordinate the social security systems in the individual Member States at European level. This harmonisation of systems must, however, respond flexibly to changes in pension and social rules. The presented update to the regulation on the coordination of social security systems is based, above all, on comments raised by Member States, and therefore I supported it with a clear conscience. I understand the concerns of some of my colleagues about the abuse of social systems in their countries, but I firmly believe that the rejection of European harmonisation will not resolve this problem. Generous social support systems are not sustainable in the long term."@en1
