A/HRC/16/64 the Convention raised several insurmountable difficulties for them. It was indicated that the scope of that instrument, which covered both workers in regular and irregular situations, treating them on equal footing, posed a problem since both European Union immigration policy and national policies clearly distinguished between the two. The status of legally residing immigrants in the European Union member States was identical to that of European Union nationals, in terms of education, health assistance, housing, social security or pension treatment. One of the priorities of the European Union was to combat irregular migration, especially as organized by human rights trafficking networks. The delegate added that, although irregular migrants were not automatically granted a right to reside on the territory of European Union member States, their human rights were fully respected. This fundamental distinction between regular and irregular migration was an integral element of the European Union’s Global Approach to Migration. The delegate stated that it was unlikely that European Union member States would ever be in a position to sign and ratify the Convention and the lesson to be drawn from that example was that, when drafting new United Nations instruments, due care should be given to their universal nature. Additionally, the delegate reaffirmed that the European Union had understood that the recommendation contained in paragraph 85 (a) of the present report referred to regular migrants. X.
