"Mr President, today we are supposed to be debating the results of Lahti. What results? On energy and relations with Russia, the prime ministers said that they will insist on respect for fundamental rights by Russia. They then 'unsaid' that, implying that 'realpolitik' is the only solution in order to satisfy the Union's energy requirements. In the end, they managed to get Russia to turn its back on them on both energy and humanitarian issues. The results were even more disappointing on the major issue of immigration. We need, the prime ministers told us, to focus on better guarding of the borders. Fine, but then why did we cut the Frontex budget? More importantly, however, the more they insist on addressing immigration solely as a policing issue with repression, the more they will undermine our future. In order to address illegal immigration and inhumane trafficking in human beings, we need, first of all, a legal immigration framework. They bicker among themselves and refuse to adopt one. We need a serious foreign policy and economic development and conciliation policy which they are unable to formulate. We also need a bold policy for the integration and equal treatment of immigrants which they refuse to design."@en1
