European Union looks to integrate immigrants

On 10 May 2007, European home affairs commissioner Franco Frattini met with EU ministers responsible for integration in Potsdam, Germany to discuss the topic of cultural and religious integration of immigrants into the 27-member bloc. Over the next seven years, the European Union plans to provide €825 million to help provide solutions for the issue. "There can be no immigration without integration," said Frattini at the meeting.

The European Commission has approved twelve projects designed to integrate immigrants into the EU. Funded with €4 million, the projects include initiatives such as trying to alleviate exclusion of migrant communities by educating religious leaders on core European Union values and multicultural environment, as well as providing mediation services designed to provide a bridge between immigrants and their new environment.
