lpv:translated text	". The European Union is ploughing vast sums of money into image campaigns with the aim of highlighting the benefits of the Union to its citizens. Every clever businessman knows that good products need no advertising. The precise nature of the EU’s error is made implicitly clear when it comes to the subject of expanding the resettlement programme. It lies in the discrepancy between the everyday reality for the citizens of the older EU Member States at least and the pathological mania for reorganisation shared by many eurocrats. Despite the huge integration problems experienced by many immigrants from completely different cultural backgrounds, resettlement programmes are to be expanded and granted even more funding. Anyone looking to bring refugees from safe third countries into the EU is showing their stupidity rather than their solidarity. The most effective assistance would be to provide third states that take in refugees with both financial and structural support and to back projects that promote peace and democracy, as well as humanitarian causes, in particular in crisis regions. The crazy idea that it is possible to offer every displaced person in the world a cosy refuge in the EU is simply self-destructive. Long-term assistance can only be provided in the third countries themselves. The concept of aid for refugees is being taken to absurd lengths by permanently identifying certain groups as victims of persecution and pursuing this policy of resettlement. Anyone forced to leave their homeland because of the horror of war must be able to find sanctuary in a safe country. However, this should not involve permanent resettlement with a guarantee of generous financial support."@en1
