This free movement of workers within the monetary union is not only important for its proper functioning but it also symbolises the depth of the economic integration achieved between euro area countries. Thus, let me repeat here my earlier calls that the remaining labour mobility restrictions for Slovenian citizens in the euro area countries should be eliminated.
Such barriers do simply not belong to a single currency area. Ladies and gentlemen, let me again congratulate Slovenia for its successful integration with the euro area and the adoption of the euro.
