"Some of the Cornillet report’s recommendations are undeniably positive. We support extending voting rights to residents from non-Community countries, deletion of the Aznar Protocol – a veritable denial of the right of asylum, non-restrictive recognition of refugee status extending, for example to all the persecuted Algerians, measures against the discrimination suffered by the Roma, and recognition of the rights of homosexuals.
All the same, the good intentions sometimes stop halfway: detention centres and waiting areas are actually prisons in all but name, where living conditions are inhuman. Limiting detention to ‘exceptional cases’ or ‘a maximum period’ are inadequate recommendations which maintain the criminalisation of asylum seekers and people without papers.
Article 32 proposes to ‘humanise’ detention for minors, but they should not have to suffer that degradation at all.
There must be standardised rules across Europe to allow victims of the traffic in human beings and domestic slavery to escape their persecutors. Long-term residence permits would be much more effective against the exploiters than ‘temporary residence permits … for the duration of the inquiry and the judicial procedure’. If the recitals and amendments on the right to vote and the rights of homosexuals are maintained, we will vote in favour of this report. Otherwise we will abstain."@en1
