lpv:translated text	"Mr Aznar, the need to combat illegal immigration is clearly indisputable. What concerns us, however, is that this battle should become the key factor in relations with third countries and in cooperation agreements, assuming greater practical and political importance than that accorded either now or in the past to the advancement of democracy and the Rule of Law. In the few seconds available to me, I must illustrate this point with a paradox. According to this line of reasoning, Albania under the Communist dictator, Enver Hoxha, would have been a perfect partner, for it was impossible for people to emigrate from those countries; nobody could emigrate from countries under a military regime. Yet it is possible to see beyond the paradox, for it is where we are unable to bring democracy and the Rule of Law that conflict breaks out, and that was the case in the Balkans. That is the real, basic, problem underlying unmanageable migration flows. Therefore, Europe may well do better to focus on the deep-rooted causes of the unmanageable problem of illegal immigration rather than on the symptoms."@en1
