"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I must express my solidarity with Mrs Klamt, in view of the left’s unsuccessful attempt to sabotage the report in committee. As it is very clear that the amendments do not solve the problems and do not improve conditions for jobless immigrants, I agree with the rapporteur that mass regularisation is neither a way to control illegal immigration nor a way to recruit economic migrants; instead, it fuels marginalisation and widespread criminality.
Although the ambitious proposal to set up a European ‘green card’ system is worth endorsing, a policy making entry more flexible for seasonal workers or for those with fixed-term employment will generate a catastrophic, unmanageable situation. For immigration to be a source of prosperity and development, rather than instability, there have to be stringent procedures and criteria. In addition to the immigrant having a sponsor and being able to demonstrate the ability to provide for his or her own upkeep, I believe further guarantees are needed. A job must be a
for a migrant to be admitted. Providing for derogations and exceptions is unacceptable.
I hope the Commission will submit a consistent, pragmatic proposal containing precise, non-arbitrary conditions. Economic migration provides an opportunity for a country, but it cannot be a panacea for all ills, from an ageing population to a labour shortage. That is why my group, the National Alliance or the Union for Europe of the Nations Group, abstained from voting on this report."@en1
