".
We voted against the European Parliament resolution on the Commission 2003 work programme, first of all because it approves this programme, which I had already criticised in my speech of 20 November last, and also because it adds other proposals which we do not approve of, such as the request for a statute and for funding for the so-called European political parties.
In my speech on 20 November, among other things I questioned those provisions of the work programme relating to immigration, which do not seem to me to be equal to the task of solving the problem. The President of the Commission made things worse when he replied to the various speakers at the end of the debate. He launched into an extravagant eulogy on immigration, in which he declared, among other things, that complete integration is a major objective of an open society, while showing absolute respect for all cultures, so as to achieve non-conflict societies. One should perhaps point out to him that ‘absolute respect’ for all cultures does not lead to ‘complete integration’ but rather to a multicultural society, and that a multicultural society is really a multi-conflict society."@en1
