"Mr President, I am speaking in my capacity as MEP for northern France, following Mr Van Orden, whose comments regarding the Sangatte Centre rather surprised me.
What surprised me, first and foremost, is that he is questioning a court ruling. I did not think that it was customary in the United Kingdom for a political assembly to criticise a decision taken by the courts.
What also surprised me is that he is not concerned about the reasons why so many refugees try to enter Great Britain. Lastly, I would like to point out to him, as I know the centre well having visited it many times, that the intention is to humanely manage a situation which, in itself, is not humane and which has arisen due to a lack of harmonised rules on non-European citizens entering and circulating within the European Union.
Rather than criticising a decision of a court or a country, I would hope that we will all do what is necessary so that common rules can, at long last, be established in the European Union."@en1
