"I must tell you that the third question, raised by Baroness Ludford, relates to the debate we have held today, but there is a part which refers to the draft directive on the status of long-term resident third-country nationals.
With this in mind, I would ask the President-in-Office of the Council to answer the question.
Question No 3 by Sarah Ludford ():
Following the meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs Council of 14-15 October, the Council Conclusions on the integration of third-country nationals were approved. These Conclusions encouraged active participation of third-country nationals in community life and emphasised how integration measures are a key element in developing a common EU immigration and asylum policy.
Why is it that, when the Council sends political signals that it is committed to such goals, originally set out at the European Council in Tampere three years ago, it has been unable to make any substantial progress on the Draft Directive on the status of long-term resident third-country nationals?
Does not the Council think that the way to encourage and ensure integration is to offer third-country nationals stability, security and rights similar to EU citizens as set out in the legislative provisions of the text rather than to keep repeating general statements and offering only a 'network' of best practice?
Does not the failure to deliver legal rights make the supportive statements appear hollow and insincere?"@en1
