lpv:translated text	". For as long as there have been huge differences in income in the world, people have migrated from poor to rich countries. In the past that migration was actually encouraged by governments, since businesses suffered from a shortage of labour, and it looks as if this is about to be repeated. The fundamental problem, the unequal distribution of wealth among humankind, is not solved in this way. There are also people who are not asked to come, but who are forced to leave their country of origin. Once they have left they can no longer return in safety, since the prevailing regime threatens them with imprisonment or even the death penalty. Unfortunately it is still common for such people to be turned away or sent back at the border. The tough outer borders of ‘Fortress Europe’ are driving more and more people into the hands of unscrupulous human smugglers, who are greedy for fat profits and abandon people to their lot before the port or border river is reached. It is right that this mafia should be tackled. On the other hand it is madness to start punishing the solidarity of pressure groups and churches with political refugees and workers employed for a long period of time in a Member State of the EU without the correct papers. The Ceyhun report moves in the right direction, but is still inadequate."@en1
