lpv:translated text	". Following the progress made at the Tampere European Council in October 1999 on a European area of freedom, security and justice, and at a time when we are discussing the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the report we are debating today is of the utmost importance. It concerns the issue of family reunification. the children of the couple, whether they are married or not, and whether they are born within marriage, out of wedlock or are from a previous marriage; the children of one of the spouses or partners are covered, on condition that the latter have actual custody and responsibility; relatives in the ascending line, when these people are in the applicant’s care as well as children of full age who are also dependants. This right is currently only recognised by international legal instruments, specifically the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 1950. At national level, situations are extremely disparate. Family reunification enables the family unit to be protected and makes the integration of third-country nationals into Member States easier. It was therefore crucial to incorporate the law on family reunification into Community legislation. The European Commission’s proposal therefore sets out to establish a law on family reunification for nationals of third countries who are legally resident in a Member State, as long as they fulfil a certain number of financial and procedural conditions. I welcome the work of my fellow Members of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, who have made a considerable effort to combat the extremely limiting and conservative vision of the first rapporteur. They have produced a text that is close to the European Commission’s basic proposal which, in my opinion, is on the whole quite satisfactory. Consequently, those belonging to one of the following categories will benefit from the law on family reunification: third-country nationals who are legally resident in the territory of a Member State and who have a residence permit, which is valid for at least one year. refugees, regardless of how long their residence permit is valid, or European Union citizens not exercising their right to free movement. Those entitled to claim family reunification are: the spouse or non-married partner of the applicant (including same-sex partners); although it should be noted that the provision covering non-married partners only applies in Member States where the position of non-married couples is comparable to that of married couples;"@en1
