lpv:translated text	"We are critical of parts of the report. In our opinion, there is too great an emphasis placed on what should be done to limit immigration, instead of highlighting the positive and necessary aspects of increased immigration, including the immigration of labour. In several cases, we should like to go further with regard to becoming more receptive to increased labour migration. We are particularly critical of Paragraph 15, which states that ‘immigrants are expected to respect the community of values – as set out in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights – and to show a willingness to integrate into society in the Member States’. We do not currently require the citizens of Europe to respect the community of values referred to in the report. The question is how this paragraph will actually be interpreted. A wave of anti-Muslim sentiment is currently sweeping across Europe. In Sweden and in several other Member States, Muslims have been harassed. Politicians in individual Member States have, in our opinion, made some astonishing statements. Our concern is that the wording of Paragraph 15 is in danger of providing further scope for intolerance and xenophobia. There is a risk that the diversity of Europe could be lost."@en1
