lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the report contains proposals which, if they were binding, might go some way towards reducing the difficulties that we are experiencing with family reunification. However, it does not go far enough and some of the amendments proposed are a step backwards and we will reject them. The right to family reunification has to be an absolute right. In fact the report seems to be primarily concerned with placing limitations on this right on a wide variety of pretexts so as to prevent it from facilitating so-called illegal immigration. This motivation, which is despicable from a human point of view, reduces the scope of the few positive aspects of the text. Society is so lacking in egalitarian values and there is so much poverty in the world that more and more poor people are trying to escape hunger and suffering and find refuge in the countries of Europe; all too often they unfortunately fail to do so. The national States and the European institutions can put up all the barbed wire they like, both literally and in legal terms, to prevent this happening, but they will not succeed. The measures of constraint to turn away those who are fleeing poverty only serve to show the inhumanity of those who take and support these measures."@en1
