lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, whenever a serious social problem occurs, it always has a political basis. This is true of the disgraceful events which have recently occurred in El Ejido. The proof of this lies in the fact that the groups in this House have reacted and tabled several motions for resolutions. We all regret the deaths which have occurred and the violent and disproportionate reactions against the immigrant workers. We all, I believe, agree in our condemnation of the xenophobia and racism which was apparent in certain actions. These events certainly have their origin in, among other factors, the absence of a clear immigration policy allowing the affected communities to live together respectfully and peacefully. We hope that the events in El Ejido will serve as a lesson to everyone and will not be repeated. Yet it is not enough to regret the situation. We do not want Africa to become our cross, in fact quite the contrary. We must therefore act. I should like to highlight certain measures which we are trying to introduce in another European region affected by immigration – the Canary Islands. Firstly we are creating a network of reception centres for minors. Secondly we are conducting a programme of social integration. Thirdly we are carrying out education programmes on tolerance and respect. Finally we are producing a census of immigrants. I hope that these measures will help towards ensuring compliance with the Tampere Agreements on immigration and the new Spanish Act on aliens. In particular they must ensure that people arriving in Europe do not lose their dignity."@en1
