Jeg opfordrer derfor Kommissionen og i særdeles Kommissionens næstformand til at tage de fornødne initiativer i forhold til medlemsstaterne for at sikre, at illegale indvandrere får borgerlige rettigheder i tide og ikke post festum, som det er tilfældet i Italien, hvor 250.000 personer nu har fået opholdstilladelse - mens emigrationsmafiaen i mellemtiden har tjent store penge.
I therefore call on the Vice-President of the Commission in particular and the Commission in general to urge the Member States not to regularise the situation after the event, as has been done now in Italy, where 250 000 people have been legalised as immigrants - because in the meantime the emigration mafia have netted their profits.
