lpv:translated text	". This report closely follows the proposal for a directive presented by Commissioner António Vitorino, which aims at combating the smuggling of immigrants and the trafficking in human beings, without making a clear distinction between the two types of trafficking, which are very different. It is more interested, in fact, in combating illegal immigration than in protecting the victims. The rapporteur tries to make some distinction, but only partially and without drawing all the conclusions from this. While supporting the idea of providing assistance to the victims of the trafficking in immigrants, we cannot accept the way in which the Commission tries to do this, since it treats victims of trafficking in human beings for the purpose of prostitution in the same way as it treats illegal immigrants who seek work in the European Union and only turn to illegality because of the unacceptable positions upheld by the Community institutions, which try to turn the European Union into a ‘fortress Europe’ instead of increasing support for cooperation with their countries of origin and supporting their integration. The State should not resort to the threat of expulsion to pressurise victims into cooperating with the police and the authorities in charge of the investigation. On the contrary, the cloak of protection given to victims should, from the start, guarantee a residence permit as well as access to asylum procedures and medical and social services, irrespective of whether the victims collaborate in combating the trafficking. We therefore voted against the report."@en1
