lpv:translated text	"Mr President, less than 5% of lorries that arrive or pass through the port of Dover are stopped, and even less than that 5% are searched. So what is to be done? Is it not obvious that we must step up the controls, section more policemen and carry out 20 times the amount of controls in order to be able to guarantee that controls are being carried out properly? And the responses from the Council have not changed; they are still the same: Europol, Eurodac, police cooperation. On behalf of the Council, Minister, you informed us that the immigration policy and the fight against crimes related to illegal immigration are two separate issues. This cannot possibly be true, it is not true and I would argue that even the Members’ speeches illustrate that it is not true. Parliament is ready to vote on a joint text – and I urge it to do so – a text which defines the direct relationship between restrictions on immigration and the way organised crime benefits from this trafficking, for this connection lies in the prohibition mechanism. Where there is no legal immigration integration policy, when it takes months to obtain work permits, when United Nations reports tell us that our societies, our countries in Europe need a regular influx of hundreds of thousands of immigrants each year, immigrants which are not permitted to enter, not only in the highly-skilled new technology industries but also in the manual labour industries, restaurants and services, when we are under the illusion that we are banning everything and preventing all harm, we find ourselves overtaken by a flood of illegal immigration which is only illegal because it has, in actual fact, been banned by these laws. Minister, I believe that Parliament may be able to take a stance on this matter which opposes what you have said today."@en1
