"Mr President, I would like to do something that I rarely do for reasons of time, and congratulate Mr Pirker on his well balanced report, although I believe that he is at present not in the Chamber. Social integration of economic migrants in the Member States is, as he stressed, absolutely essential if we are to avoid social tensions. And a greater degree of contact between immigrants and the indigenous population will perhaps also help us to recognise ‘sleepers’ and so help to fight terrorism.
I also believe that in view of all the measures proposed it is important to give the Member States the option of fine-tuning the entry and residence of third country nationals in accordance with the requirements of their own labour markets and demographic trends, because these questions in particular can only be dealt with at local level.
It will also be important to take into account the imminent enlargement of the EU when planning immigration policy. The rapporteur took all this into consideration. I wish his report every success, and we will certainly be supporting it."@en1
