". – Mr President, I want to talk specifically about economic migration, which covers a whole range of people from company directors to cleaners. We forget that in this debate. It is true that the economic situation in some countries of origin may well push people to move, which raises questions about our external policies, our trade policies. After all, the GATT agreements give service providers the right to move. But people also come here for the benefit of their CVs, because they can earn good money and because we want skilled workers.
With regard to non-documented migrants, we have been told that they come because of the draw of illegal work. In that case, many of our Member States are absolutely complicit in that. We know of major construction projects that have been built with the assistance of undocumented migrant labour, for example, and the Commissioner is absolutely right, these people are attractive because they are cheap and they have no rights. To establish legal, simple, flexible channels for migrant labour and employers is extremely important. The green card and the job seeker’s visa, which we talked about last time we discussed this, are very good ways forward, as would be assistance for the implementation of existing labour standards by our governments."@en1
