Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on European Affairs.

European Affairs

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. He has spoken with passion on this issue for the past 15 years, but does he agree that it was unfair of the Government to impose restrictions on Romania and Bulgaria? The accession eight countries have proved that registration and the operation of the market mean that those who want to work will get jobs, and that those who are unable to find a job will return home. Should we not review the policy in respect of Romania and Bulgaria to ensure that countries joining the EU do so on an equal basis?
