lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Frattini, ladies and gentlemen, this is not the first time in this Chamber that I have advocated a European policy on legal immigration – for humanitarian and economic reasons – and measures to step up the fight against illegal immigration and the trafficking of human beings. The two proposals before us are important and useful. I should like first to speak about the Lambrinidis report and to say to Mr Frattini that the Commission’s proposal is most welcome and well balanced, although I fear that the rapporteur has gone too far on some points, such as political rights. Immigrants must be integrated, but we must not forget that this works both ways: host countries must strive to integrate them, but they must also do their bit in the drive towards integration. I agree with Mr Lambrinidis that it is appalling that there is still a consultation process and the requirement of unanimity throughout the area of legal immigration and I agree that the clause provided for in the Treaty should be invoked in order to give Parliament codecision powers. I wish to highlight the importance of the Gaubert report aimed at establishing a web-based information system on this issue. Although the implementation of integration initiatives will be done at local level, it has broader implications. The difficulties experienced by one Member State in defining and implementing their integration policies has an impact in other Member States at social and economic level. It is thus in the Union’s interest that the Member States implement effective integration strategies the results of which serve the common interest. It could and should be the Union’s responsibility to monitor and assess the results of the efforts of integration. This will contribute towards the rapid adoption of the best techniques."@en1
