As Rainhard Kloucek, Secretary General of the Paneuropa Movement Austria, makes clear: \u201cThe four fundamental freedoms are the cornerstones of European integration. This applies especially to the free movement of persons.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There are already too many restrictions on these fundamental freedoms, such as the Posting of Workers Directive or other protectionist measures from the poison chest of the paternalistic nation-state. These restrictions are not made any better by the fact that they are supported by parties that describe themselves as pro-European. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo solve the upcoming problems in Europe, we do not need more planned-economy interventions of the kind the Vice-Chancellor is demanding with his remarks, but rather far more market-economy approaches,\u201d Rainhard Kloucek maintains. \u201cThis applies above all to the labour market.\u201d What is necessary is not a restriction of fundamental freedoms, such as the free movement of persons, but their full implementation within a genuine, complete single market.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, justifying the restriction of freedoms for free EU citizens with the alleged interests of the Eastern European population is cynical,\u201d says Kloucek. Naturally, certain states have challenges to master regarding the emigration of skilled workers; however, the economic success of these states is based on the freedoms within a united Europe. These freedoms must be defended and expanded for all EU citizens.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis requires the removal of the many restrictions that are still in force, and some of which are only just coming into force,\u201d says the Secretary General of the Paneuropa Movement Austria. He adds: \u201cThis also includes the abolition of the visa regime for Kosovo!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paneuropa: Freedom of Movement is a Cornerstone of European Integration Abolishing fundamental freedoms leads to the abolition of a united Europe The Paneuropa Movement Austria views Vice-Chancellor Strache\u2019s recent considerations <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[740],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
