Editorial: For a transparent immigration policy
18 February 2011441Presseurop
Illegal migration into Greece has slowed at the crossing near the Turkish city of Edirne since the Frontex mission, charged by the European Union to monitor its borders, deployed there for four months. But while this gap in the Schengen Zone may be partially plugged, the problem has simply been displaced. A report. 
Immigration is good for Europe, according to a group of eminent personalities including Joschka Fischer, Javier Solana and Timothy Garton Ash. European leaders should heed their message, suggests Dutch journalist Hans Goslinga. 
Giving in to demands from France and Italy, Brussels has recognised the principle of the temporary reinstatement of border controls within the EU. A Romanian columnist argues that final approval by the EU27, to be taken on 12 May, would mark a major step backwards. 
The rise of populist parties on the Old Continent seems to echo the success of the Tea Party in the United States. But the two movements have different histories, writes the Boston correspondent for De Morgen. The result, though, is the same: governments threatened with paralysis. 
Why should a country not have the right to reinforce its legislation on economic immigration? Even if it goes against European law, a columnist argues that this principle should apply in the context of the political row between the Hague and Warsaw over the fate of unemployed Polish migrants. 
The Dutch government wants to tighten up the rules on migrant workers from EU countries. The first victims: the many Poles already living in Holland. That could cost the local economy dear, warns Gazeta Wyborcza. 
Confronted with thousands of North African migrants arriving on its shores, Italy has gone begging for a show of solidarity from its EU partners. On April 11, however, the Ministers of Interior and Justice of the Twenty-Seven reminded Rome that when it comes to migration, each country enforces its own rules. 
The EU intends to set up some common rules on asylum. The surge in the polls of xenophobic parties in several countries and the influx of migrants from north Africa, however, have combined to make the debate an explosive one. 
The Libyan crisis has brought to light the contradictions that mark the European Union: in industrial policy, international relations and immigration, national interest and its corollary, lack of solidarity, prevail. 
Hundreds of North African refugees are continuing to land on the Italian island of Lampedusa off the Tunisian coast, provoking a humanitarian and political crisis. At the same time, hundreds of others are attempting, usually without success, to cross the border between Italy and France, which is their final destination. 
Since the middle of February, the Italian island of Lampedusa has welcomed several thousand migrants who have made the crossing from Tunisia. Battling with bad weather and without political support, local people have made the best of limited resources in their attempt to deal with the situation. La Stampa reports from an island on a war footing. 
Faced with the massacres perpetrated by the Gaddafi regime against its own people, how can the EU content itself with calling for “restraint”, while spending more time worrying about an influx of refugees? Madrid daily El País publishes an indignant editorial. 
Terrorism, immigration, the economy: for Europeans, the wave of revolts that have shaken the Arab world is fraught with dangers that are not altogether clear. El País has tried to unravel truth from falsehood.
