lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the fight against terrorism has been, and must continue to be, one of our priorities, if not our main priority. There has been much progress in this field and in the field of cooperation in criminal matters and we have demonstrated that when we have political will we can be effective. I would like to ask whether you believe that now is the time, following this success in relation to cooperation in the criminal field, to carry out the necessary improvement in judicial standards in the European Union and the defence of individual rights. And I am referring to the current Union and the enlarged Union. I also believe – and I would like to hear the Commission’s opinion on this – that there should be some coordination initiative in the police field which would put an end to these areas of confusion, which are so difficult to explain to the citizens. I am referring to Europol and others. I am less optimistic about immigration policy, however. There is a phrase in the work programme which I find truly extraordinary: to consolidate the immigration and asylum policy. I do not believe it is the fault of the European Commission, I am more than sure of that; but, to be frank, I think it would be very positive if we were to begin the immigration and asylum policy. Mrs Grossetête asked the Commission for more initiatives. I would ask the Commission for fewer initiatives. It has presented all the initiatives it should have presented. We have a package of proposals which make up a coherent and reasonable immigration policy. What we need to do is to begin to take decisions in this area. I believe that we should not increase the range of proposals so that the Council can just select little bits of them, but we must demonstrate political will in order to make progress in global terms. And finally I would like to welcome the proposal for integration policies and, above all, the idea of coordinating these polices with social policy. If we believe that immigrants must enter Europe for employment purposes, we must be effective in both areas, we need an immigration policy which works, but also a labour market which works, a social policy which incorporates immigrants in order to respond to the local problems which immigration creates."@en1
