"Mr President, our group was extremely pleased at the result of the vote this morning. We now have a much more positive view on reception conditions, in particular, issues such as more rapid and widespread access to education and vocational training, not just education for children.
We welcome the wider access recommended for all forms of healthcare, particularly psychological support for victims of torture and others who have undergone severe trauma. We are also very pleased that the amendment widening the definition of the family went through. We are aware that this is something which is very controversial in this House but at long last we are beginning to recognise that the nuclear family is not the only model which is applicable.
We regret that certain Members of this House seem to feel that it is acceptable not to regard those seeking asylum and other forms of protection as having equal rights in terms of social security and other forms of security in the workplace. I am sure that is something that will also change.
It is a pity that the Council appears to have already made up its mind before listening to the views of Parliament, and that once again we are running to catch up with the process. I think the Council would treat us with much greater respect if its timetable actually allowed us to give our position before it took its final decision.
Overall we welcome the changes made by Parliament on this particular report and hope that it is not too late for the Council to take account of them."@en1
