Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I welcome this amendment, which goes a long way towards satisfying my concerns about the Bill. It is interesting that Germany and Austria, two very strong economies, have concerns that are not shared by any other Members of the Seanad. I may be in good company with Germany and Austria, two excellent countries and great trading partners. They want no freedom of access after enlargement, with an initial review after the first two years of the transitional period. Is that not a lovely provision? Germany and Austria are two powerful countries. One would feel Germany wants to expand and create jobs, as it is the primary funding country of the European Union. If I have concerns, I am in very good company.
