“This is why Italy and Malta welcomed the announcement, made last Sunday, that the EU will issue new immigration policy proposals by the end of October”. This according to Frattini.

Unfortunately there is nothing to be happy about, because according to EUobserver, Swedish Immigration Minister Tobias Billstroem stressed that “the application of the proposed policies would be voluntary”. This leaves everything as it is now. A status quo!

Let us not let them take us for further rides. A lot of talk and no action, because our northern partners (!) do not give a damn as long as they are not facing the music.
