lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I must make it quite clear that I do not agree with the conclusions of my fellow Italian who has just spoken. However, I would like to join him in congratulating the rapporteur and his committee on their excellent work. What conclusions can we draw from this report? Basically, that the positions of Parliament and the Council are poles apart. This has always been the case, but today we are formally recording it in a document: on the one hand, we have the Council, which maintains a particular line through the individual States of which it is composed and which makes recommendations on the basis of the decisions of those States and, on the other hand, we have the Community, or, rather, Parliament, which advocates a different, more harmonised, more coordinated and more homogeneous approach. I feel that this distinction is important: Parliament’s approach is more idealistic, optimistic and utopian, whereas the individual States are more concerned with practical issues and have to answer to their citizens, who are not easily convinced by hopes and illusions but are well aware of the reality of present conditions which, in many cases – both in Italy and in many other European countries – have resulted in uncontrolled immigration. Therefore, in view of the security issue and the problem of migration, which has its roots in poor countries which are beset with problems, where individuals, groups and families need to find not only a means for self-expression but also a completely different, secure environment, I feel that it is essential for Community policy to be comprehensive."@en1
