"I congratulate Mrs Terrón i Cusí on her work. The Commission’s proposal for a directive on the entry and residence of third-country nationals again places the emphasis on legal or illegal immigration and raises the issue of employment as a prior condition for granting stable status. I welcome the improvements contributed by the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs to the proposal for a directive, but I would also like to stress that the rapporteur has shown great lucidity and has dealt with the issue without demagoguery. There are some interesting proposals and advances, in particular increased transparency, a simplification of the procedures and taking more account of the interests of third countries. In general the rapporteur moves in the direction of improving the rights of holders of residence and work permits and stresses the need for all foreigners to be given equal access to education, training and housing assistance. I regret that these proposals have not been backed up with real figures and that the report has not placed more emphasis on access to citizenship. We must all work to guarantee the principle of free movement, to increase the opportunities for workers to find work and enrich their professional experience and to promote mobility with a view to creating a closer union between peoples."@en1
