Type: Acts of the European Union: European Parliament resolution on freedom of movement for workers within the European Union

Authority: European Authorities - European Union: European Parliament

Date: 12/15/2011

Subject: The European Parliament, underlining that mobility in the EU should never be regarded as a threat to national labour markets, calls on the Member States which intend to maintain the labour-market restrictions on Romanian and Bulgarian workers to present in a clear and transparent way a full justification, in line with the criteria and methodology drawn up by the Commission and substantiated by convincing arguments and data, including all relevant socio-economic indicators, which led to the conclusion that geographical mobility gives rise to a severe disturbance of their national labour market.
