Today’s vote in favour of the directive on a single permit for third-country nationals seeking to reside and work in a Member State is a further step towards achieving a harmonised immigration policy at European level. The idea of combining a residence permit and a work permit is good. It shows that the Union is genuinely committed to promoting legal migration and is not the European fortress that some people believe it to be. To achieve this, it was important for Parliament to support the idea of a single application procedure that is easier and faster for both the employer and the migrant. The European Parliament has also made the right choice by excluding four categories of workers from the field of application: seasonal workers, workers posted within their undertaking, self-employed workers, and seafarers, all of whom are already or will soon be covered by specific directives. Another positive point is the flexibility given to Member States as regards the effective rights of third-country workers. The 27 capitals will have the final say in determining whether or not to grant or withhold unemployment benefits and family allowances, and on the non-allocation of public housing during the first three years of residence. These are simple, common sense measures."@en1
