". The integration of immigrants, be they economic migrants or refugees in search of asylum, is a major challenge for our societies. Indeed, the success of our immigration policies will depend on the success of our integration policies. We must frame a contract of values between our societies and the ethnic communities that they take in. This is an issue that affects all of us. We must welcome immigrants and respect the diversity of their cultures, religions and traditions. At the same time, immigrants themselves must accept our traditional values as set out in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights: respect for democracy, freedom, human rights, equality between men and women, and religious freedom. These values must under no circumstances be called into question. The watchword is ‘diversity in unity’. In the interest of strengthening integration policies, discussion should take place regarding the concept of civic citizenship that could be developed for nationals from third countries. This would include a set of rights and responsibilities, such as equality of social, economic and political treatment, in areas such as working conditions and voting rights in local and European elections."@en1
