"Mr President, the issue of immigration, both legal and illegal, is a huge issue with many aspects. It is linked to the combating of racism and xenophobia, to asylum policy, to the integration of immigrants, to the possibility of their obtaining legal employment in host countries and, above all, to trafficking in human beings.
The European Commission has been addressing this issue since 1986, with the new Single European Act, and has issued a large number of directives and decisions. I repeat, therefore, what I said this morning. There is an urgent need for all these decisions and directives to be codified. Without codification, we are floating in a sea of documents and decisions.
It has, however, been observed that the Member States either do not implement binding decisions or they are late transposing them into their national legislation. This, however, undermines efforts to achieve a single European policy.
It would be an oversight on my part if I failed to express my warm congratulations to Mr Gaubert on his report. This report takes a number of steps forward. First of all, it calls on the European Commission to strengthen solidarity and common policies at the level of information and the coordination of all structures involved in migration-flow management. However, more important is the highlighting in the report of the need for cooperation with countries of origin and through a proper information system with a view to identifying employment opportunities for persons wishing to migrate. Of course, this cooperation must not reach the point referred to by short-lived Commissioner Buttiglione during his hearing because, God forbid that we should create reception centres – I would say camps – in the countries left by migrants. It would be a crime which our society cannot accept."@en1
