Őry, som jeg værdsætter meget højt, at jeg har forståelse for, at han deler Kommissionens holdning ligesom så mange andre kolleger. Tillad mig dog i denne sammenhæng at henlede opmærksomheden på, at det bl.a. var den tjekkiske arbejdsminister, der allerede ved årsskiftet annoncerede, at hans land sågar overvejede at indføre overgangsfrister i forhold til Rumænien og Bulgarien i forbindelse med arbejdstagernes frie bevægelighed.
I greatly respect Mr Ő ry, and will say to him quite frankly that I well understand why he, and many other Members of this House, endorses the Commission’ s line, but perhaps I might also say that it was the Czech minister of labour, among others, who announced, as long ago as the end of last year, that even his own country was giving thought to the possibility of making transitional periods for worker mobility applicable to Romania and Bulgaria.
