lpv:translated text	"The Swiss Government’s decision to re-introduce quotas restricting the number of permanent residence permits in certain categories issued to citizens of the eight new EU Member States – the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary – makes an unacceptable and unfair distinction between EU citizens on the basis of their nationality, which means that it is discriminatory and in conflict with European values and law. As was the case recently with the PVV Internet portal in the Netherlands, the European Parliament always takes a resolute stand against violations of the fundamental principles underpinning the EU, one of which is the ban on nationality-based discrimination. I therefore agree entirely with the High Representative, Catherine Ashton, who believes that this decision violates the agreement on the free movement of persons, which does not allow for any distinction to be made between EU citizens. The agreement allows Swiss citizens to move freely around the territory of the EU, but the same rights must also be guaranteed to all EU citizens on Swiss territory. Switzerland concluded an agreement with the EU and should now fulfil its obligations under this agreement. The Swiss Government can impose quotas if it believes them to be necessary, but the quotas must apply to all EU citizens without exception, since there are no first-class or second-class citizens in the EU, and all EU citizens should be treated the same."@en1
