"Mr President, anyone who has ever lived or worked in a different country or even in a town or city distant from home will have experienced some of the difficulties that may be encountered in moving from one environment to another. Such difficulties become even more important when the change in linguistic and cultural context is a major one. Yet history tells us too just how mutually beneficial migration may be, provided that it is appropriately managed.
The Moraes Report tackles the issues in a way that is at once realistic, sensitive and robust. It makes practical suggestions. Experience in Canada has already shown a number of these to be effective in achieving desired outcomes. I am particularly grateful for the extent to which the report identifies problems for migrant women and measures to assist in resolving these.
I am speaking too on behalf of our shadow rapporteur, Mrs Boogerd-Quaak. Unfortunately she cannot be here today, but she would like me to express her thanks for the support that her amendments received in committee. We rather regret that, given the degree of consensus the report achieved there, it has been opened up for amendments in plenary. That said, we can support the majority of them, either in whole or in part. We particularly support Amendment No 10, which makes the report more positive to enlargement, and Amendments Nos 7 and 12 on family reunification. We do, however, have major difficulties with Amendment No 4, which backtracks on the commitment already made in the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Finally, I would like to thank Mr Moraes for the work he has done to produce such a worthwhile report and express the hope that it gets the support it so much deserves."@en1
