lpv:translated text	"We are in agreement with the position expressed by my group's Members on Parliament's Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, who, once again, have highlighted that the policy on readmission agreements is in the repressive tradition of the Laeken, Seville and Thessaloniki Council meetings, which focused on the so-called ‘fight against illegal immigration’, in accordance with which refugees and migrants are an economic resource to be exploited, or very ‘simply’ people to be deported back to their countries of origin. Readmission agreements are an extension of the EU's asylum and immigration policy, which is focused on increased border controls, repression and deportation, but which continues to ignore the causes of immigration, such as poverty, exploitation, war, and many others. This attitude is totally at odds with the much-vaunted role of EU solidarity in the world, as it ignores the EU's responsibilities in relation to the appalling conditions in which a large proportion of the world's population has to live. We do not support this type of migration policy since it is giving priority to profit interests over people. Anyone wanting to support the rights of migrants cannot vote for an agreement whose main goal is the most efficient expulsion of migrants."@en1
