lpv:translated text	". Let us not be under any illusions: in tandem with a new pro-active attitude in family policy, the management of migration flows is one response to the problem of an ageing population and a reduced EU workforce. As the Commission concluded, the management of migration flows is essential if we are to avoid a drop-off in economic growth and a reduction in our quality of life. It is therefore valuable that the Commission was able to pinpoint the areas where coordinated European action can be of benefit, without overlooking different national realities and sensitivities – integration into the labour market, recognition of migrants’ qualifications, linguistic and educational abilities, housing and urban issues, health and social services and social and cultural integration. I also welcome the inclusion of the concept of ‘civic citizenship’, enabling legal immigrants to enjoy a status that confers on them a sense of belonging. Integration is an essential factor in social cohesion that depends on factors such as education, language and civic participation. Lastly, I welcome the statement that ‘migration cannot be viewed purely in terms of economic potential’, which suggests a policy of profound human sensitivity that is also in tune with social reality. As Portugal’s People’s Party (CDS/PP) advocates, ‘strictness on entry, generosity and humanity in reception and integration’. ( )"@en1
