New Plans Outlined For EU Immigration Policy

STRASBOURG, France (AFP)--The European Commission outlined new plans Tuesday to help meet the E.U.'s immigration needs while keeping out illegal immigrants, including help for poor nations which were losing workers.

The shakeup was designed to provide clear and fair rules for would-be immigrants, said E.U. Justice Commissioner Jacques Barrot, who launched the package.

They included matching immigrants' skills with the needs of the 27 E.U. countries and helping those who did get in to integrate.

They would establish partnerships with non-E.U. countries from where immigrants are leaving, or transit countries such Libya, helping to develop better education systems and training to prevent skilled workers leaving.

Security would be improved by a better visa policy, more efficient border management and a "zero tolerance" policy towards human trafficking.

"I really believe that we have here some principles that can clarify and inspire very balanced policies," Barrot told reporters at the European Parliament.

But he denied that it would be a new step in building a fortress in Europe.

"No, it's a Europe that is tackling its immigration problems, which are among the most difficult problems to resolve," he said. "It's tackling these problems in a balanced way."

The only people who would benefit from not acting, he said, were "those human traffickers who take the risk of transporting immigrants toward a dismal future."

The commission also unveiled an asylum action plan to iron out differences between the 27 E.U. nations and make it easier to see whether refugees were being adequately protected.

The European Parliament is set to vote Wednesday on tough new E.U. rules on expelling illegal immigrants which could see them held in custody for up to 18 months and banned for five years if they resist.
