lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Group of the Party of European Socialists, Mr Barón, said, the European Union is not reinvented during each Presidency. You said, Mr Aznar, that Spain has proposed a European immigration and asylum policy. I think I recall that there already was one. Nearly three years ago, in Tampere, the European Council adopted a programme to harmonise asylum policies and to provide the European Union with a common framework for immigration policies. The programme had its deadlines, which, it is true, will expire in two years’ time. The Commission, during that time, presented all the proposals for a coherent immigration policy: family reunification, integration, management of flows of legal entry in order to cover existing employment in the European Union (perhaps we should consider that we need more employment inspection and less border controls in the European Union, which would also be a way forward), relations with third countries in terms of joint management of influxes and joint development, and combating illegal immigration. None of these proposals were adopted. In Seville, in any case, you had to ratify the Tampere agenda; you had to ratify its objectives after three years. This gives me two feelings: one of hope, because that is the last thing you lose, but also one of concern as to how you did it. You turned the Tampere agenda around and that concerns me for many reasons, including reasons of efficiency. The fight against illegal immigration should be defending a legal European immigration policy. If that is not the case, it is just a fight against the desperate; it is a horrible war against illegal immigrants, which we cannot win. Mr President-in-Office of the Council, today this European immigration policy that we need for the twenty-first century does not exist, but there are proposals for it. I hope that there will be real steps forward in the future."@en1
