lpv:translated text	". − Mr President, I voted against the proposal by Mr Catania today on the future of the European Common Asylum System. My party, the Dutch Socialist Party, does not believe that harmonising asylum policy and dressing up an agency to govern this in future would lead to a more even distribution of the number of asylum applications among the various Member States. Asylum applications are determined more by the presence of family members and acquaintances in certain Member States, which attracts new asylum seekers. I also take the view that harmonisation would lead to lower-quality asylum policy in countries where this policy is relatively well regulated at present, as Member States would use this standardisation to seek out the lowest possible level. Such a race to the bottom is undesirable and, ultimately, would only hit asylum seekers. As much as I appreciate Mr Catania’s efforts, I cannot support his conclusions on this."@en1
