03/07/2009 (Agence Europe) - The King of Sweden, HRH Charles XVI Gustaf, whose country is currently at the helm of the EU, has called for greater freedom of movement for individuals in Europe. “Some see the movement of people as a threat to our security and a challenge to our societies and economies. I do not agree,' the king told a group of European reporters visiting Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm on 2 July 2009, adding: “The time has come to look at mobility of people as an opportunity to enrich our societies and make Europe stronger and more prosperous. We must guarantee the individual's human and legal rights. We must avoid building walls between people and strongly support measures for satisfactory integration of all into our societies.” (H.B./transl.fl)
