Ian Hudghton (Verts/ALE
),
I supported this report which, although of a technical nature, draws
attention to circumstances which can inhibit the fundamental right of free
movement which EU citizens supposedly enjoy.
While I am not in favour of the EU
having competence over Social Security provisions, I do believe that more
could be done to facilitate the portability of certain entitlements.
For example, disabled people are effectively denied their
right to free movement - to seek employment for example - because the
level of support currently provided may not be available in a new
location. This is one of many issues which require to be addressed.
