Freedom Of Employment Across The Eu

EDM number 1462 in 2005-06, proposed by Keith Vaz on 24/01/2006.

That this House acknowledges the economic benefits of allowing workers from new European Union member states access to the British labour market; applauds the governments of Sweden and Ireland for taking the same positive decision to allow access since the enlargement of the EU in 2004; recognises that other member states are currently reviewing their own restrictions on labour from central and eastern Europe; calls on other member states of the European Union to allow the same level of access to their labour markets at the earliest opportunity; notes that the European Commission will shortly be publishing a report containing its recommendations on the issue; and encourages the European Commission to take a strong role in the abolition of all forms of economic barriers within the EU.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
