"We voted against the Terrón i Cusí report on the Community immigration policy because it constitutes, in both form and content, an example of one of the most disastrous products of the European Parliament.
As regards form, it was added to the agenda at the last moment and it was the subject of a vote of approval without any debate, like most of the reports this session.
As for content, this text, submitted by a rapporteur from the Left, is supposed to deal with immigration policy as a whole, yet it says almost nothing about illegal immigration. On the contrary, it considers that the crucial factor for evaluating the success of a European immigration policy is the full integration of the migrants into the host countries. With this in mind, it proposes, amongst other things, the creation of a ‘civic citizenship’ enabling legal immigrants to be given various rights, including the right to vote in local and European elections (paragraph 29).
Not surprisingly, the report states (in paragraph 53) that the European Refugee Fund cannot finance forced repatriation, yet it welcomes the Commission’s proposal concerning the financing of pilot projects relating to integration (paragraph 39)."@en1
