lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is important that the excellent Dublin Convention, which is the basis of the proposal for a regulation, should be updated so that it corresponds with the Treaty of Amsterdam. There may, however, be a danger that we will not be improving the situation, but destroying what has been achieved. There have to be clear rules regarding which Member State is responsible for examining any given asylum application. When dealing with applications it is important that the deadline is as short as possible. The more efficient the European system is, the better for all concerned. It is not right that genuine asylum seekers should have to wait around for a long time for their applications to be dealt with solely on account of bureaucracy. Member States must be able to handle applications for asylum and requests for reception more efficiently. One month is the absolute maximum in humane terms. The custody of minors is not always a straightforward matter if the biological parents are unable to take charge themselves. It is not necessarily a good thing for the child either if just any relative can volunteer to take charge of him or her. This could also aid unlawful entry and thus also jeopardise the interests of genuine asylum seekers. The concept of custody must be clearly defined. There are great differences between the south and the north regarding the notion of family. What is the nuclear family? Is it the parents and children, or all possible relatives extending as far as second cousins? The debate on the directive on family unity is still continuing; it is therefore unreasonable to define what constitutes a family separately in each directive. The directive on family unity must be swiftly implemented."@en1
