"A report with 91 articles must clearly include some aspects with which we agree. However, this report, despite trying to ‘sweeten the pill’, is profoundly negative, which is obviously why we reject it.
It ‘strongly supports the establishment of a common European immigration policy’, welcoming the ‘institutional implications of the Lisbon Treaty, in particular the extension of co-decision and qualified majority voting to all immigration policies’, and ‘the adoption of the European Pact on Immigration’; in other words, an inhumane security-based immigration policy which criminalises, exploits and selects immigrants.
If there were any doubts about the EU’s aims, then this report dispels them: migration ‘continues to be necessary in order to address Europe’s … labour market … needs’ (nearly ‘60 million migrant workers by 2050’). That is why ‘Immigration Profiles’ must be developed – ‘with labour market needs being a central aspect of these profiles’ – and why there is a need ‘to increase the attractiveness of the EU for highly qualified workers’, particularly through the ‘Blue Card’; in other words, an inhumane vision of immigrants, which sees them purely as labour to be exploited.
More than a common policy, what we need is a different policy which defends the rights of immigrants and combats the fundamental causes of immigration."@en1
