lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I voted against the Catania report, as I totally and utterly disagree with the Commission’s recent proposals on asylum policy, which the rapporteur welcomes in this report. My particular fear is that the new directive, which provides asylum seekers with even easier access to the labour market and would even give them a large allowance on top, will create a pull factor similar to the collective regularisations that were carried out in Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy, the consequences of which were simply disastrous. Indeed, I should like to remind the House that, according to recent censuses, there are still more than 20 million unemployed in the European Union – the figure has most probably reached 25 million by now – which means that attracting even more asylum seekers is, in fact, a kind of collective suicide. In addition, I believe that this whole area must remain an exclusive competence of the Member States."@en1
