"Mr President, the current massive population movements surpass, in terms of sheer size, any that could have taken place in the past. A series of regularisations has helped to put an end to illegal work, a phenomenon that stops all workers from enjoying the benefits of the law. The practice of keeping in the country people who have no rights, whose situation is extremely precarious, who are reduced to feeding the profitable illegal work market or who succumb to crime inevitably poses social, moral and legal questions.
There is a whole raft of reasons why migrants resort to leaving their country of origin, but they do so mainly for economic and social reasons. I feel it is worthwhile at this point to mention the four principles drawn up at Tampere, which should be the best way of controlling migratory flows and of addressing the current economic and demographic challenges.
The first principle is a comprehensive approach to the management of migratory flows, so as to find a balance between humanitarian and economic admission and the fight against illegal immigration. The second is fair treatment for third country nationals, ensuring, as far as possible, comparable rights and obligations to those of nationals of the Member State concerned. The third principle is developing partnerships with countries of origin in the management of flows, including policies of co-development. The fourth is a common asylum policy across all EU Member States.
Along with a rise in populist fears of foreigners, many people are concerned that the common approach to immigration may take on a dangerously repressive hue. We know all too well that policy of this nature is not the way to tackle these problems. If anything, it has the potential to exacerbate them."@en1
