French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, searches to leave his mark during the next six months where he will be at the front of the European Union (EU) and one of his priorities is to approve a "pact" on immigration among the 27 countries of the block.

Sarkozy wants that the agreement prohibits massive regularizations of foreigners without documents as the ones that have granted Spain and Italy in the last decade.

The proposal, that will be detailed July 7 and 8 during a cabinet meeting in Cannes, also seeks to increase border controls to avoid the arrival of undocumented immigrants to the block.

"France or Europe, is not going to accept all the misery of the world", said Sarkozy on Monday, citing an expression of the former French prime minister Michel Rocard.
