"Mr President, first of all, I am not against cooperation against organised crime and illegal immigration in itself, but I am totally opposed to carriers' liability in principle. I believe it is a back-door privatisation of immigration procedures and, as others have said, it passes the responsibility for checking documents to check-in staff or drivers rather than leaving it with official immigration staff who should be well trained in a non-racist and humane way. It is a pity that this service was left out of the Article 13 anti-discrimination directive by the Council.
I object strongly to the backing-winners approach of ‘your money back’ if you have transported a winner in the asylum-seeking stakes. Like others, I also believe that this is an initiative which is wrong in pragmatic terms, being part of a piecemeal approach to creating a common immigration policy, which we have seen far too much of in this House already. We must have the framework first and then look at how it is best implemented and whether such harmonisation is appropriate. This fragmented approach is neither coherent nor sensible.
I would commend to the House the amendment which has been supported by three groups: Amendments Nos 10, 11 and 13. There are other amendments to this report also worthy of consideration. I shall be supporting Amendment No 12."@en1
