In connection with the Intergovernmental Conference, Mr Barnier said, during his presentation in Parliament, that social policy was not to be subject to majority decision-making but, when I look at page 63, I see that rights of travel and of residence - that is to say, the Residence Directives - ,combating discrimination, the whole of social security and the renewal of Regulation No 1408 and, with a few exceptions, of arrangements in the socio-political sphere are to be subject to qualified majority voting.
I forbindelse med regeringskonferencen sagde Barnier under forelæggelsen i Parlamentet, at socialpolitikken ikke var underlagt flertalsafgørelse, men når jeg kigger på side 63, så ser jeg, at bekæmpelse af forskelsbehandling, retten til at færdes og til at tage ophold - altså opholdsdirektiverne - hele den sociale sikring, fornyelsen af forordning nr. 1408, af foranstaltninger på det socialpolitiske område - med enkelte undtagelser - skal underkastes kvalificeret flertal.
