lpv:spoken text	"I voted against this report. It sends out the wrong signals. It suggests that Europe will take in the people it wants, the people it needs; in other words, human beings are being classified as commodities that certain Member States will want. This goes against all the international principles of basic human rights. It suggests that people who have a certain trade or a certain profession can come in, but other people who may desperately need to get in are not allowed in. This whole policy is completely restrictive. In relation to the idea that we all have to share the burden of quotas, that immigrants are a burden, that we must all spread this burden, that immigrants are not people at all, that they are basically problems, this report sends out completely the wrong signals. It establishes the concept of a fortress Europe whose door will be open to a privileged few."@en1
