"Mr President, let me begin by thanking the rapporteurs for their very good work. I am pleased with the plans to make life harder for employers and private individuals who employ people illegally. Illegal employment, in domestic work and childcare for example, mostly involves women, often with an immigrant background. This affects not only the individuals concerned, but also social insurance and finance systems, and competition in the countries in question. I am also pleased that continued support will be available to combat human trafficking, especially involving women and children, which predominates. I am grateful for the support given to halving the number of victims within ten years with a view to eliminating the practice completely.
On the other hand, I am disappointed that I did not get support from the Conservative Group in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs in helping women and children to break free and find a new life. Voting for Amendment 29 offers a new chance to support women and children so that they can remain in the EU or to help them return. Do this so that women can have a life – after people trafficking.
I am also pleased that we continue to say ‘no’ to refugee camps outside the EU. What I would warn against, however, is the labour force of economic migrants that we will get if we do not allow families, partners and children to accompany them. Then it will be mostly young men who come, which is not a good thing for any society in the EU.
We talk about the EU’s borders. It is important that persons who engage in human trafficking, crime, drugs, arms dealing and money laundering should be kept outside, while at the same time people in need of protection are welcomed into a humane EU. They are the backbone of the EU and cannot be excluded from the EU’s common future. Migration will be important, not just for us who live here now, but also for future generations, and we must achieve both global prosperity and our own prosperity."@en1
