"According to Eurostat, population ageing in the EU will become a reality in the medium term. Immigration could act as an important stimulus to ensure good economic performance in the EU. Against this backdrop, we must recognise the essential nature of immigration to the EU.
Illegal work needs to be tackled given that it fundamentally violates the rights of migrant workers. We must promote a European policy which encourages illegally resident migrant workers to register with the authorities, whilst ensuring that this does not lead to summary procedures of return in violation of their rights. These workers are already in a position of inferiority when they arrive in Europe and it is clear that proper management of migratory flows can benefit the EU and third countries simultaneously.
We must combat the wastage of skills that is being seen repeatedly among migrant workers. These workers, notably women, often end up in jobs for which they are over-qualified.
I feel that the Commission must pay particular attention to the question of skills recognition and the incentive for lifelong training, while also ensuring that immigrants have opportunities to learn the language of the host country in order to ensure their social, professional and cultural integration in the European Union."@en1
