Objet: The European Parliament strongly supports the establishment of a common European immigration policy founded on a high level of political and operational solidarity, mutual trust, transparency, partnership, shared responsibility and joint efforts through common principles and concrete actions, as well as on the values –enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It considers that a common immigration policy must be flanked with an effective policy for the development of the countries of origin and it believe that a good integration process is the best tool to eliminate mistrust and suspicion between native citizens and migrants. It emphasises that integrated border management should strike the right balance between ensuring the free movement and greater security for EU-citizens. It welcomes therefore the new Directive on sanctions against employers of illegally staying third-country nationals and it calls for a system of Return Counselling Services to be established in closed and open accommodation centres, serving as a contact point for persons wishing to learn more about return assistance. Finally, it stresses the importance of a development policy in third countries of origin or transit as a means of addressing the challenge of immigration at its roots.
