Alfonso Egea de Haro calls for pan-European immigration policy
The European Union must define a clear approach regarding migration and citizenship otherwise individual member states will introduce their own stricter immigration policies, political scientist Alfonso Egea de Haro writes in the leftist daily Público: "You would think the EU states and the European Union would come up with a better integration policy. After all, the EU is based on free circulation of people (as well as of goods). This principle also gives purpose to European citizenship. But the lack of a harmonised immigration policy and joint citizenship are leading to a tightening up in the policies of individual states. On the one hand they use the examples of other countries as an excuse (Italy has announced it will adopt similar measures to France regarding its Roma settlements). On the other hand the freedom of movement fans fears that a lax policy could turn a country into a main target for migratory flows."

Regional politics as a priority
Belgium may not have a proper government at the beginning of its EU Council presidency but precisely this circumstance could strengthen Belgian regionalism, writes the leftist daily Público - and not just in Belgium but all over Europe: "The rotating presidency is essentially regarded as an opportunity for national governments to get their priorities on the political agenda of the rest of the member states. Belgium, in spite of starting its European presidency with an interim government, doesn't seem about to let this opportunity pass. ... On the other hand the provisional nature of the Belgian government could force it to focus all its energy on coordinating the work of the representatives of the Belgian regions who will chair the Council's various committees. If this is the case perhaps regional politics will play a leading role on the European stage in the coming months."
