There is no a formal legal definition of integration. According to the Draft National Action Plan against racism 2011-2014, integration is not assimilation in the short term, it does not reduce all the differences. Integration is not inclusion: it is not limited to meeting social and economic standards. But integration is not a simple moral process, it requires a reciprocal effort. In other words, it is not the Republic that must integrate foreigners living in France, it is the foreigners who must integrate with the help of the Republic.
