E/CN.4/2005/85/Add.3 page 21 99. The Special Rapporteur proposes the introduction of visas for people seeking work in sectors dominated by small companies and individual employers, such as domestic work, care of the elderly and sick, or the hotel trade. 100. She also proposes some flexibility in the regulation of the residence contract for employment purposes. More stable legal residence for immigrant workers would encourage them and their families to integrate. 101. She proposes action to rectify segmentation by country of origin in the labour market, the high incidence of work-related accidents and the lack of professional mobility among the immigrant community, and to recognize or accept the equivalence of academic qualifications. 102. She proposes that the gist of the Aliens Act, labour legislation and the situation on the Italian labour market should be circulated in a clear and comprehensible form among the potential immigrant and emigrant population. 103. The adoption of the regulations for the implementation of Act No. 189/2002 should be expedited. 104. Means of combating illegal migration should be reinforced, and efforts and resources increased to prosecute the hiring of illegal migrants. 105. Urgent steps should be taken to ensure health assistance for mass arrivals in Lampedusa. The priority of the Lampedusa CPTA should be the correct identification of everyone arriving on the island, not the immediate deportation of newly-arrived immigrants. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the new agreement between the Ministry of the Interior and MSF and hopes that MSF will be able to resume its activities in the CPTAs and the identification centres in the near future. 106. Alternatives to deprivation of liberty, agreements allowing sentences to be served in countries of origin and opportunities for rehabilitation by means of existing vocational training workshops should be developed for foreign prisoners. The relationship between discrimination against immigrants in access to employment and the high percentage of foreigners imprisoned for minor offences requires analysis. 107. Better coordination is required between the Ministry of the Interior and the prison authorities over the deportation of foreign prisoners. Holding ex-convicts in the CPTAs implies an unjustified extension of their sentences and creates problems of personal safety for everyone else held there, particularly women. 108. The right of asylum act should be adopted and the National Commission for the right of asylum should function more swiftly in order to prevent asylum-seekers from slipping into situations of illegality. 109. Official interpreters should be available inside prisons.
