"We agree that the situation in Dover calls for a reaction on our part, but I also think it shows something else. In the Danish media, we have heard a 14 year-old Afghan boy say that, if you have to become a refugee, you need an agent. The word ‘agent’ was his own, but to some extent it shows how difficult it is for refugees in fact to make their way to a place in which they can request asylum, and that is of course where the whole problem lies. I should like to ask how the Council views the fact that this further contributes to criminalising humanitarian actions. It is as if we stand midstream at a place where two currents, formed of immigrants and refugees, often combine. What is the Council thinking of? If this area is further criminalised, the result will be to have contributed to a situation in which only unscrupulous and cynical people and those out to make money from the situation will stay behind. Is it really the Council’s policy to help bring about a situation in which the money of poor and persecuted people ends up in the clutches of the mafia and similar organisations?"@en1
