"Mr President, given the way this morning’s debate is going, I wonder whether we are in a seminar, in a big lecture, or in a Parliament whose obligation is to legislate and to provide solutions to European society’s current problems. Ladies and gentlemen, I think it is very worrying that this Parliament has rejected
Council initiatives such as the ones we are considering here and that this demonstrates great disarray in the legislative process which the Treaty obliges us to follow.
Free movement, for example, is a fundamental aspect, which requires legislation that is crystal-clear to both the citizens of the European Union and to those from third countries.
I agree with the reasoning that Mrs Frahm expresses in her report for rejecting the initiative and for expecting the Commission to fulfil the objectives proposed on the scoreboard, because we do need to consider all the scenarios in which nationals of third countries who are authorised to circulate within the territory of the Member States may find themselves in. It is also necessary, for the sake of this legal coherence, that the solutions proposed do not contradict the Treaties.
The same can be said of Mr Nassauer’s report, in which he has expressed himself well and in which he rightly criticises the lack of legal rigour of the French Government’s initiatives on the mutual recognition of decisions regarding expulsion.
We should truly be considering whether the European institutions are providing a rigorous response to European society’s current demand that we create a policy on immigration which respects the principles of freedom, equality and justice that go hand in hand with European culture.
Immigration and everything relating to it requires a tripartite pact between the Council, the Commission and Parliament, which will impose some order on this debate. The majority groups in this House, as happens in our own countries, must reach a consensus on the great principles enshrined in Chapter IV of the Treaty and its legislative implementation. We must achieve joint consensus and consideration.
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems to me that the path of confrontation which we are taking will not help to reach a solution to the problem, but rather make it worse, which would have dangerous consequences for all of us."@en1
