Amendment 56 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Takes the view that the Member States' integration policies and measures must be better differentiated and tailored and of higher quality and, most importantly, that they must thus draw distinctions, for example, between the well qualified and the poorly qualified, between EU citizens and third-country nationals and between migrants with and without offers of employment; notes that the European Integration Fund is restricted to initiatives that target third country nationals only.
