".
The European Parliament has just rejected the proposal for a Council decision which aimed to establish practical measures for the application of the directive on mutual recognition between the Member States of decisions that each one might be led to take in order to expel third-country nationals. Fortunately, this House was only consulted for an opinion, and this draft can therefore at last undergo the adoption procedure. We feel that its content is entirely justified, and that Parliament is trying to start an unreasonable quarrel.
Most of the House maintained that Article 63(3) of the EC Treaty could not constitute a valid legal base: it does concern the adoption of common measures to repatriate illegal residents, but this provision would authorise measures concerning content rather than procedure. This is a specious distinction, which even the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market could not support.
Here, in fact, Parliament is showing its normal pro-immigration bias: what it does not like about this draft is that it might facilitate the repatriation of illegal immigrants. Of course, we did not support it."@en1
