According to the conclusions of the European summits in Tampere and Seville, the European Union is committed, over the period from 2004 to 2008, to paying EUR 250 million to third countries, to help them control the migration of their nationals to Europe. This programme of technical and financial assistance in the field of asylum and migration is merely the ‘externalisation’ of migratory-flow management. Instead of having refugee camps in Member States, we shall have them at the gates of Fortress Europe, with worse health and social conditions and without any guarantee of respect for human rights.
The bare figures and European regulations, however, conceal the real reasons for migration: poverty, social despair, underdevelopment, and untenable political and democratic situations. These are the reasons why the EU should fight alongside third countries while at the same time guaranteeing to all human beings the right to move and establish themselves wherever they see fit. In order to combat ‘illegal immigration’ it is necessary to oppose the black market in labour, to regularise the position of unregistered immigrants, and to give them political and social rights, starting with the right of residence for all immigrants living in Europe. Instead of doing that, the EU degrades itself by ordering collective deportations. Instead of voting in favour of this report, we invite Members of Parliament to sign the European appeal against the ‘charters of humiliation’."@en1
