"Growing up in the North-East of England, I saw the positive effects of immigration. In the 1950s and 1960s, people from all over the world were starting news lives, entering willingly into employment in places like South Shields, where the lack of racial hostility was presented as a source of regional pride. The example of South Shields is in many ways unique, but it showed that, in a tolerant society which can provide work for its immigrants, the successful integration of immigrants is and was possible. Immigration is not only necessary but also extremely beneficial. Some of the UK’s most highly-skilled professionals are immigrants. We must therefore work to achieve a qualitative rather than quantitative migration policy, ensuring that immigrants arrive to stable employment. This will also mean that the immigrants’ experience will be positive, as in South Shields, making this integration process smoother. The ECR Group supports the principle of differentiated, needs-driven and tailored immigration and integration policy in Member States and agrees that employment is the key to successful integration. We also, however, believe that immigration should be closely controlled. Just as in South Shields, the immigrants must have a purpose, judged by the individual Member State."@en1
