25/06/2014 Session
The Assembly today expressed its concern about the situation of legal immigrants and their offspring, whose overall level of integration remains unsatisfactory in its view. Relying on quantitative and qualitative indicators in the report prepared by Marietta Karamanli (France, SOC), the parliamentarians concluded that in many member States the existing State policies relevant to various areas of the integration of migrants are insufficient.
In order to promote integration more effectively, the Assembly emphasised the need to return to comprehensive policies which ensure a better redistribution of wealth towards those with few resources, and advocated a series of measures relating to the labour market, education, political participation, discrimination and family reunification.
