Recital 34
(34) In order to promote the self- sufficiency of applicants and to limit wide discrepancies between Member States, it is essential to provide clear rules on the applicants’ access to the labour market and to ensure that such access is effective, by not imposing conditions that effectively hinder an applicant from seeking employment. Labour market tests used to give priority to nationals or to other Union citizens or to third-country nationals legally resident in the Member State concerned should not hinder effective access for applicants to the labour market and should be implemented without prejudice to the principle of preference for Union citizens as expressed in the relevant provisions of the applicable Acts of Accession , sector restrictions, working time restrictions and unduly strict administrative formalities should not hinder effective access for applicants to the labour market. In order to increase integration prospects and self- sufficiency of applicants, early access to the labour market before 6 months from the date when the application for international protection was lodged and to language courses should be encouraged.
