"I voted in favour of this resolution, because following the unrest in the Arab countries when migration flows greatly intensified, it is important for a common migration policy to function across the entire EU. Given the fact that migration cannot be stopped, foreign policy must play a special role in this area. Countries on the EU’s external borders are worst affected by increased migration flows. Every effort must therefore be made to ensure that a common EU migration policy is established at EU level so that migration flows are managed and controlled optimally. Only joint efforts will protect economic growth, labour market sustainability and scope for development from negative consequences in those countries facing the greatest flows of immigrants. This will be an effective instrument for stopping illegal immigration, organised crime and trafficking in human beings. The EU must make every effort to ensure that legal migration is promoted and that we combat irregular migration effectively. It is very important to establish a system for legal migration, taking account of the needs of Europe’s labour market and the capacity of each Member State to receive and integrate immigrants. Legal immigrants in European Union Member States must enjoy the same rights and obligations as other workers. Furthermore, in every country it is very important to reduce the brain drain and the departure of qualified specialists. To that end we must introduce assisted return programmes, promote circular migration, regulate recruitment practices and support capacity-building."@en1
