lpv:translated text	". In this report there are some good proposals for resolving the crucial problems of the Member States and of the third-country nationals who want to live and work in Europe. However, this proposal for a resolution contains exaggerations and irregularities. I feel that legal immigrants can make a valuable contribution to the labour market, but the labour market situation in Member States, who are responsible for deciding on the immigration of third-country nationals as workers, needs to be taken into account. When, at the beginning of the 90s, we granted the right to vote in local and European elections to citizens of Member States, providing that they are residing in the country concerned, this practice was based on reciprocity: a Portuguese person can vote in Luxembourg and I can vote in Portugal in the same conditions. To ask for exactly the same treatment for third-country nationals boils down to ignoring this reciprocity. Why should an Algerian be able to vote here when I could not vote in Algeria in the same conditions? Subsidiarity must apply. Laying guilt on those Member States that do not grant such rights to immigrants from these countries goes too far because, implicitly, they are being treated as racist."@en1
