\"Jean-Claude<\/a>European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned Britain not to discriminate against workers from fellow EU countries and said any moves to restrict the free movement of people could ultimately harm capital flows into London\u2019s financial center.
\nHis remarks during a panel discussion on Austrian television came after British Premier David Cameron laid out a blueprint for restricting EU migrants\u2019 access to welfare benefits but stopped short of proposing quotas if Britain felt too many people were settling in the country.
\n\u201cThis fundamental right of free movement of workers cannot be questioned existentially because if you question the free movement of workers, Great Britain has to know that one day the free movement of capital will also have to be called into question,\u201d Juncker said.
\nHe said the Commission wanted to discuss the matter calmly with Britain but added that migrants from eastern European countries go to other EU states to work and should not be treated as criminals.
\n\u201cOne should stop, especially Britain, which was always for expansion of the European Union, discriminating against countries only because it comes across well in the current context if you beat up on others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
