"In Belgium, 2010 was synonymous with an unprecedented pensioner boom. More than 100 000 workers qualified for a pension. I welcome the invitation this report extends to the Member States to recognise the importance of integrating migrants. Immigration is a natural phenomenon. The history of mankind is a history of migration. Zero immigration does not exist, has never existed, and will never exist. In this day and age, it is no longer possible to go without an in-depth reflection on the problem of migration. All countries are affected by the movement of people, whether as origin, transit or receiving countries. Migration is a positive reality. It enriches not only the economy but also the culture and the society of the transit and destination countries. The migratory phenomenon is a natural phenomenon, which must be supported, shaped and portrayed positively. In a Europe where the regions are becoming increasingly important, it is also important to point out that the Structural Funds allocated to them can be used to achieve such an objective. Unfortunately, this is far from the case at present, as only 9% of appropriations have been used."@en1
