"Mr President, the institution of political asylum is part of the most noble legal tradition of our peoples, but the Watson report, in my opinion, makes a serious mistake in extending its scope, in expanding it to embrace a number of cases that lie outside the historical nature of this important and noble institution of public law. My amendments had a single purpose – and I thank Mr Fatuzzo for recalling it and pointing it out – which is to prevent the improper use of the institution of asylum and that of the political refugee: we are running the risk of encouraging illegal immigration which, as another Member of this Parliament has highlighted in the debates of these few days, also breeds terrorism. It therefore seems rather serious that some political groups, who appear to be against illegal immigration, should have wanted to block my amendments with their votes."@en1
