lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President. The Committee on Petitions, as we point out in the explanatory statement, had confidence in the rapporteur we had in the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs. In other words, we believed that it was not necessary for the Committee on Petitions to produce an extensive report and to present it as if it were a fundamental report, because we had confidence in our rapporteur in the Committee on Freedoms. All I want to say is that we fully support the most important aspects of the rapporteur’s proposal, which improves the European Commission’s proposal. Mr President, I believe this is a very important directive which will reflect a Europe of rights and a Europe that receives those people who feel persecuted. Firstly, we support the fact that there are so many references to the European Convention on Human Rights of the Council of Europe because we believe it is closely related to the debate we are holding. Also the reference to increasing the rights of asylum seekers and their families, whether or not they be traditional families. We have very clear examples of families which are not traditional but which are extraordinary families. We also support the capacity for Member States to introduce and maintain certain aspects which are even superior to those laid down in the directive we are debating. I also agree with the removal of the paragraph which proposes using semi-public organisations to protect asylum seekers. We believe that only the State can duly protect asylum seekers. And non-repatriation in the event that the applicant is at risk of the death penalty or corporal punishment. This Parliament has spoken out very clearly against the death penalty on many occasions. Also the reduction in the time limits for enjoying working, educational and childcare rights, as well as the extension of the residency permit. Of course, the establishment of effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties for those who fail to comply with this directive. We believe that the concerns expressed by the Committee on Petitions are duly taken up in the report by Mrs Lambert, and we therefore support it."@en1
