Op de EU integratietop van 9-11 nov. j.l. presenteerde de Europese Commissie het Handboek voor Integratie.
Hier volgen enige interessante passages uit de inleiding:
"Moreover, the conception of integration as a two- way process directs attention towards the attitudes of the recipient societies, their citizens, sturctures and organisations alike".
"Society and its institutions must be active in opening themselves up to immigrants. It is not only up to the immigrants to achieve skills, but also to governments and societal actors to ensure that ample opportuinity is available for participation on the basis of equality and non-discrimination. getting the balance of responsability right is crucial for devising fair and effective integration policies."
'Political leaders for example, have a strong responsability in their role as public educators and in promoting positive attitude towards immigrants to counter xenophobic and racist tendencies".
"The media also plays an important role in providing balanced reporting and informing the public's attitudes towards newcomers.
Openness and good neighbourliness from the public are essential ingredients of succesfull integration"
(Nederland heeft nog wat te leren).
