lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as Members of the European Parliament we sit in this Chamber representing the citizens of the 25 nations that make up the European Union. In the Union this Parliament is the only institution elected by universal suffrage. In so far as we are the vehicles for direct consensus and have a mandate from the people, for certain issues we must succeed in casting off the political ideologies to which we subscribe. Immigration ought to be one of these issues. History teaches us that the greatest misfortune for human beings is to be uprooted from their place of origin, and that immigration arises for countless reasons, not all of them voluntary. A developed social system – and the European Union is a collection of developed states – cannot rule out some aspects of this phenomenon and focus solely on the emotive part. The Union must safeguard the fundamental principles on which its existence is based, but it must do so in a way that benefits everyone, both its own citizens and those of third countries. It must do so through a common policy, with choices that are mutually agreed upon and maintained, and not by means of ineffective initiatives which isolate certain Member States. If there must be a single immigration policy, then all its consequences must be accepted, above all at times like these when there are deep concerns regarding internal security. Among other things, it is important not to rule out the organisation of an immigration information and preparation system in countries of origin and transit. Such a system should be organised and mutually agreed on and, if added to economic aid and incentives in the areas of origin, could provide positive results for all. This proposal does not take this approach to the issue, not even in practical terms, and that is why we cannot support it unless appropriate amendments are adopted."@en1
