We should not broaden the interpretation of the term ‘family’ when we come to revise the status of third country nationals. We have seen all too clearly in the past how handling this term too loosely can result in a tidal wave of family members seeking asylum. There are already large numbers of people who have crossed our borders illegally, although they have no entitlement to asylum under the Geneva Convention. If someone is brazen enough and remains in hiding for long enough, their status will be legalised at some stage. That is why countless lawyers from ‘asylum aid organisations’ fight even the most hopeless cases, dragging them out as long as possible and wasting years of asylum seekers’ lives with false hopes. The aim should not be to have a European asylum policy in which people are persuaded of good prospects of gaining asylum, while the legal profession mines a rich seam of work at the expense of the asylum seekers. Instead, the interests of Europe must be the primary focus when it comes to the asylum question. The directive should follow the Danish model by applying stringent principles, instead of opening the door even further to unbridled mass immigration from all over the world. I therefore voted against this proposal."@en1
