European Parliament
Nirj Deva (PPE-DE ),
in writing
I and my British Conservative colleagues welcome the broad approach of the Carlotti report and support the many positive and balanced elements of this report.
However, we are against the idea of integrating the migration issue into EU external policies, as stated in paragraph six. We do not believe that a common strategy is the best way to deal with the issue. We believe that policy in this area must remain within the competence of national governments and do not believe in a pan-European approach to immigration policy.
