This report addresses an issue which needs to be discussed with increasing urgency. Indeed, the expected decrease in the number of Europeans making an active contribution requires the EU to open its borders to third-country nationals, so that they can live and work here; otherwise the current social security systems will fail.
In 2004, the Hague programme, which focused on the need to combat illegal migration, recognised that legal migration would play a vital role in the economic development of the EU. The Stockholm programme adopted by the Council on 10 and 11 December 2009 acknowledged that the migration of labour can increase competitiveness and economic vitality.
I therefore agree with the position expressed in this report on the proposal for a directive of Parliament and the Council on the regulatory amendment which is aimed at implementing a single procedure in order to grant authorisation to third-country nationals legally resident in one of the Member States, taking into account the demographic challenges which Europe is starting to face. Moreover, this is a process of simplification which is more efficient and economical."@en1
