Tænk f.eks. på, at vi selv i den forfatningstraktat, som vi undertegnede i Rom, havde gjort det klart, at det antal indvandrere, som må rejse ind i de enkelte lande, skal fastlægges på nationalt plan. Når det er sagt, mener jeg dog, at det er nødvendigt med nogle fælles regler for de lovlige indvandreres indrejse, og jeg er helt enig med den taler, der sagde, at vi ikke udelukkende skal give indrejsetilladelse til de højt kvalificerede indvandrere, da vi dermed risikerer en hjerneflugt, som ville fratage oprindelseslandene deres ressourcer.
For example, you merely have to remember that even in the constitutional treaty that we signed in Rome, we had specified that the number of immigrants who could enter each country would be determined at national level; that said, however, I think joint rules are needed on the admission of legal immigrants and I fully share the opinion of the person who said that we should not ask for or hire only highly qualified immigrant workers because that would cause a brain drain that would very likely impoverish the countries of origin.
