They say "our colleagues from the EU and beyond currently play a vital role in the workforce which looks after Hertfordshire's residents".
Then they take the opportunity to publicly thank their staff from the EU and beyond for their care and commitment.

It has also raised another £3m from donations.
"This is wonderful news," said the Dean of St Albans, the Very Reverend Dr Jeffrey John.
"The fund exists to make more people aware of the riches of our national heritage, and St Albans Cathedral deserves to be far better known as the oldest Christian site in Britain, with a uniquely long and rich history to tell."
Balanta has been training with the Wood during pre-season.
"I'm taking him to play up top, he'll be competing with two other forwards and he'll be judged on his work-rate, attitude, and, of course, his goals," manager Luke Garrard told the club website.
Verdict in Christmas Day father and son death crash inquest
The 10-year-old from Wheathampstead in Hertfordshire will be going to bed early this Saturday and setting his alarm for just before midnight, when Harry Potter and The Cursed Child will be released.
Toby can recite all of the spells used in previous books, all of which he read by the age of eight.
And strangely, his surname reminds us of one of the characters... Could he be a relation of Bellatrix?

The self-confessed super-fan says he's been practising for this big moment and is "confident" he can become the fastest reviewer.

Man found guilty of toddler murder
We've finished with our rolling coverage of two people convicted over the death of a 13-month-old boy in Luton.
We'll bring you any further reaction through the day, but in the meantime you can recap on the full story here. We'll now take a look at other news happening in Beds, Herts and Bucks.
One of 'most shocking and sickening cases'
Det Insp Fraser Wylie continued: "Little Noah suffered unimaginably as a result of the volatility of his mother's relationship with Hunjan, who today has been convicted of the little boy's murder. Even in his death he was denied any dignity by being left to suffer for more than an hour.
"This has truly been one of the most shocking and sickening cases of violence we have ever come across, and I would like to thank my tenacious, dedicated team of investigators who have worked so hard in all hours of the day and night to bring this traumatic case to a resolution.
"Though nothing can ever bring back their beautiful boy, I hope today's verdict can bring some semblance of peace for Noah's wider family."
Noah 'experienced fear, pain, neglect and extreme brutality'
Det Insp Fraser Wylie, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: "Rarely do we come across a case that involves such sheer malice and utter cruelty against a small child, by two people who were supposed to love and care for him.

"Throughout this case, the disregard shown by both Tayler-Morrison - Noah's own mother - and Hunjan has been evident, not least in the fact they attempted to evade justice by attempting to flee to Scotland whilst on bail.
"Poor Noah experienced fear, pain, neglect and extreme brutality during his too-short life. No child deserves that, and it has been evident throughout our investigation and the trial that Tayler-Morrison and Hunjan chose a tumultuous drug and alcohol-fuelled lifestyle over his happiness and welfare."
Grandmother describes 'sweetness of baby Noah's soul'
Baby Noah "loved to laugh" and had "a beautiful, sweet, sweet soul", his paternal grandmother has said.

Noah, who was just 13-months-old when he was killed, "was a happy, cheerful soul who had an inquisitive nature", Maria Serra said.
"He was cheeky – very cheeky... with Noah there was just that extra sparkle of something special. I think it was the sweetness of his soul that would just shine through."
Serious Case Review over toddler death
A Serious Case Review, which involves more than one local authority, is ongoing at the moment. It will examine the dealings social services had with Noah and his mother and everyone else involved with the youngster.
It's being led by Luton Borough Council's Safeguarding Children Board.
Fran Pearson, independent chair, said: "Luton Safeguarding Children Board has commissioned a serious case review to scrutinise the actions and decisions of the organisations that had contact with the child and his parents.
"It will establish whether there are lessons to be learnt from the case regarding the way professionals and agencies work together to safeguard children at risk."
A council spokesman said: "Luton Borough Council was not directly involved with this family and, as a serious case review is under way, it would be inappropriate to comment on this case."
