"This readmission agreement between the European Community and the Macao Special Administrative Region forms a part of the more wide-ranging strategy for fighting illegal immigration defined at the Tampere, Laeken, Seville and Thessaloniki Summits, and is the second such agreement negotiated and concluded with a third country. The signing of these agreements at EU level forms a specific part of the objectives of the overall plan for fighting illegal immigration and trafficking in human beings identified as a priority since the Laeken Summit.
With specific reference to the readmission agreement with Macao signed in Brussels on 18 October 2002, that agreement forms part of the political agreement reached in December 2000 when Justice and Home Affairs Ministers decided to exempt Macao passport holders from the visa requirement. Alongside those agreements, standard readmission clauses were adopted for inclusion in association agreements or cooperation agreements concluded by the EU. These clauses are designed solely to impose an obligation on the contracting parties to readmit their own citizens, third country nationals and stateless persons. Like the rapporteur, I believe that the Council should inform this House of decisions authorising the signing of such agreements.
I voted in favour of the report."@en1
