Mr President, I should like to express my particular thanks to the members of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs for the work that they have presented here. I believe that the report, on which we shall also be voting tomorrow, really offers an excellent basis for joint regulation of economic migration by the EU and the Member States.
I note that the present report largely reflects the positions of the Committee on Development that we had summarised in an opinion. My colleagues should also be particularly pleased that paragraph 8 of the report calls on the EU Member States to ratify the UN International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families at long last.
We think it particularly important that migrants be treated with dignity, and according to the work they do, throughout the duration of their stay in the European Union. This concerns a number of points that we have also raised directly. One example is the necessity of economic migrants having access, following their departure, to the money paid by them into European social security schemes. A further example is making it easier for migrants who have returned to developing countries to immigrate again to the EU, partly in recognition of the experience of integrating they have gained.
I should like to emphasise clearly that it is important to us that victims of trafficking in human beings from developing countries not be criminalised, but receive all conceivable help and support. It was particularly important to us that the women concerned, for example, be given the possibility of receiving a residence permit for the Member States in question.
I regret that we did not succeed in including a reference in this document about our rejection of migrant reception centres in Libya or other non-European countries. In addition, the brain drain of medical personnel, particularly from developing countries in Africa, has also been insufficiently dealt with in this report."@en1
