"The Council reminds the Member that the decision on the numbers of migrant workers to admit falls within the remit of each EU Member State, and I would add that it will continue to remain within the remit of each Member State even after the Constitution comes into force. With regard to the regularisation process implemented by the Spanish Government and to which the question refers, the Council has not debated it formally and is not therefore in a position to respond.
In more general terms, the Council invites the honourable Member to refer to developments in the Hague Programme, the multiannual programme adopted by the European Council at its meeting on 4 and 5 November 2004. By adopting that programme, the European Council, on the issue we are discussing here, based its conclusions in particular on the idea that the informal economy and unofficial employment may provide a stimulus to clandestine immigration and give rise to exploitation.
Additionally, in view of the specific problem of dealing with economic migration, the Council, at its meeting on 24 February had an initial exchange of views on the Commission’s Green Book on a Community-wide approach. At this stage, it is a discussion document covering a wide range of questions and envisaging a range of possible solutions. The examination progress which has begun should provide a basis for the Commission to establish, at the end of 2005, a programme for legal immigration."@en1
