"I am against this legislation, which combines work and residence permit applications by migrants in a single procedure: it drives a new wedge between equality among all employees and the rights of some workers. There will no longer be workers, but European and non-European employees, not to mention illegal immigrant workers. Even worse, this text establishes a link between residence permits and work permits and bases the first, above all, on the duration of the second. The European Union, which prides itself on defending human rights and social rights, has now decided to consider migrants as a mere labour force adjustment variable, meaning that they are not entitled to the same rights as other employees. What is presented as progress is, in reality, simply a bid to formalise the growing inequality between all those who live in the Union. Considering that the European Parliament rejected this text at first reading a year ago, it is hard to understand some MEPs’ change of heart, since the text submitted to us today is almost identical to the one presented at first reading."@en1
