lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in her intervention the rapporteur begins by saying that the right to life and human dignity are essential rights, and I entirely agree with her, and in order for that life to be dignified, the right to work, to health, to education and to housing are essential. The report points out quite correctly that seven Member States are failing to comply with the principles of the European Social Charter, for example in relation to access for foreigners to employment, their rights of assembly and trade union rights. As the rapporteur for the Committee on Social Affairs also says, there is a tendency to restrict social and economic rights within the context of reforms of the labour market. I will only comment on certain aspects, Mr President, given the time available. The UNHCR also expresses its concern at the increasing tendency to link asylum seekers to possible crime and terrorism, particularly following 11 September. I believe that a common asylum and immigration policy that respects human rights is essential, as the rapporteur also points out. The repercussions of anti-terrorist measures on the Rule of Law and human rights should be assessed, above all in terms of the rights of asylum seekers and immigrants. Mr President, every day in Spain we see a horrendous tragedy involving people who come looking for a better life. Finally, Mr President, the Committee on Petitions, by means of the report by its rapporteur, points out that family grouping, the right to asylum and free movement are daily problems in the European Union. I do not understand the proposals of some Members of this house which discredit the essential nature of this report."@en1
