A report drawn up by London PES Group Member, Claude MORAES, in response to Commission proposals on immigration, integration and employment, was supported by Parliament today in spite of conservative opposition.
Mr MORAES said: "In the run-up to the European elections, we are sending a clear message in this first-ever report on immigration positively setting out the case for some economic migration, a partnership with the countries of origin and a comprehensive integration policy for both new and existing millions of ethnic minority European citizens."
The report emphasises that immigration should not be viewed purely in terms of its economic potential: instead migration policies should be developed in parallel with additional measures for social, cultural, religious and political integration.
