European Parliament
Lund and Thorning-Schmidt (PSE ),
in writing.
(DA)
We have today in the European Parliament refrained from voting in favour of Mr Santini’s report
) on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States.
Basically, we think that the Commission’s proposal is too far-reaching in as much as a Member State would not be able to deport people with permanent residence permits. We have nonetheless voted in favour of quite a few of the European Parliament’s ameliorative amendments which, for example, put registered partners on an equal footing with married couples.
