". Mrs Klamt’s report on the conditions of entry and residence in the European Union of third country nationals for the purposes of highly qualified employment starts from a correct premise but arrives at the wrong conclusions. It is in fact correct that qualified immigrants from outside the Community prefer to emigrate to the United States or Canada than to Europe. To want to reverse the trend and make them come to us smacks of a worrying masochism and loss of clear-headedness. Are we that incapable of training engineers, computer scientists and doctors that we need to bring them over from the developing world? Is it humanely acceptable to steal the brains from countries which have an absolute need for these qualified employees in order to develop? Do you believe that by favouring the selective immigration which Mr Sarkozy wants that legal and, more importantly, illegal immigration will be stopped? Last question: what remains of the Community preference if we attract qualified persons by giving them the same rights as Community nationals, including the same salary rights? The replies to these questions illustrate the danger of the sort of Europe that practises a real crime against humanity with regard to the developing world. For these reasons, we cannot vote for such a report."@en1
