30.Nov.99 - After a number of different seminars and workshops on migration and migrants rights a coalition of groups have united in calling for a 'European day of struggles for the regularization (of sans papiers) and for the closure of all detention centers for foreigners'.

Common Declaration (Paris 13.11.2003)

in the different European countries and after having shared the
experiences of their struggle the following signatories address
themselves to all the participants of the European Social Forum (ESF)

1. Underline that the sans papiers are only the visible tip of an
iceberg of precariasation that includes all other migrants and all
other workers.

the restructuring of the work sphere by the generalized precariasation.
3. Underline that the struggle of the sans papiers is at the very
center of the political confrontation
