1. Calls on the Member States, in accordance with its resolution of 24 February 2005 on the EU's priorities and recommendations for the 61st session of the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva and the European Economic and Social Committee opinion SOC/173, to ratify the UN Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families; calls on the Commission to base its recommendations regarding the rights of migrant workers and their families on this Convention, which is aimed at integrating migrant workers;

(3) The European Economic and Social Committee has also appealed for equal treatment of Community nationals and third-country nationals in the social field, notably in its opinion of 26 September 1991 on the status of migrant workers from third countries(4).

In areas where committees have been established (health and safety at work, vocational training, equal opportunities, freedom of movement for workers and social security for migrant workers), the Commission will continue to distinguish "social dialogue" consultation of the social partners under Article 138 of the Treaty from consultation in advisory committees.

6. Calls on Member States using the EET or ETT system not to allow the situation to reach the stage of infringement proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Communities, but to permit migrant workers the deductability of pension contributions paid to the pension scheme which they were already subscribed to before they emigrated, and to permit non-migrant workers the deductability of pension contributions to pension institutions established in other Member States which are comparable in motive and intention, taking account of the requirements imposed by Member States;
