"Mr President, I am glad that Commissioner Frattini is here to hear me address the next item. In a recent statement, the Dutch Minister for Integration, Mrs Verdonk, announced a change in the return policy for homosexuals and Christian asylum seekers from Iran. She said that since homosexuality and Christianity are not outlawed in Iran, asylum seekers can simply return home. Whilst this may, strictly speaking, be true, in practice, homosexuals and Christians have good reason to fear for their safety. It is a fact that homosexual activity carries the death penalty.
My question to Commissioner Frattini is whether the Commission intends to find out whether Dutch return policy is in line with the European minimum standards for asylum seekers as laid down by the directive that is required to be implemented by October of this year, and whether it is in line with international agreements."@en1
