MEPs rejected a controversial paragraph calling the European Commission to present a proposal on the creation of a Green Card system for economic migrants, although they did support the setting up of a single administrative procedure for issuing an employment and residence permit for economic migrants.
Rezolūcijā, ko EP pieņēma ar 259 balsīm par, 85 pret un 176 atturoties, deputāti uzsver, ka ES jāizveido kopēja imigrācijas politika, lai novērstu nelegālo imigrantu darba negodprātīgu izmantošanu.
