"I am pleased that the European Parliament has rejected this proposal for a single permit. Today’s vote paves the way for new negotiations and says ‘no’ to allocating rights according to workers’ market value. This directive, far from guaranteeing a common set of rights for all migrant workers, founded on equal treatment and non-discrimination, proposed a fragmented concept of legal migration, where the market value of a migrant worker would determine the extent of his or her rights. On the eve of the 20th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, this hierarchical arrangement is totally unacceptable: the Union must at last incorporate the conclusions of the many studies which show that the benefits – both individual and collective, economic and societal – for host countries and countries of origin alike go hand in hand with the full and effective exercise of migrants’ rights. The Greens will continue to pay extremely close attention to this matter in order to help equip the Union with an ambitious migration policy that is based on the principle of universality and indivisibility of fundamental rights. This will be the issue at stake in the new talks prompted by the rejection of this dreadful agreement."@en1
