"The report mainly concerns two different groups : refugees and citizens of third countries, and their right to be reunited with their families in EU countries. As Swedish Christian Democrats, we believe that these groups ought to be dealt with separately. The right of refugees to be reunited with their families ought to be dealt with in the same way, but in a separate directive.
The family is our society’s most important building block, and we must therefore stand up for the right to a family life. Above all, children’s right to be reunited with their parents must be protected, but the right to family reunification ought in certain cases (for example, when there are serious health reasons) to apply also to relatives in the ascending line, as well as to children who have come of age. It is also only right that, following death or divorce for example, relatives should have an automatic right of residence in the host country, just as they should be given the right to work and receive an education in that country.
With these reservations and qualifications, we support the report."@en1
