lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the 2003 Family Reunification Directive marks an important stage in EU migration policy. It recognises the right to family life of migrants who are legally established on the territory of the European Union. It supports their integration by limiting family separation and allowing them the stability and enrichment of family life. Let us not forget, however, that family reunification continues to be an important source of legal migration. The European Pact on Immigration and Asylum, adopted in 2008 under the French Presidency of the European Union, reflects the need to structure and frame this migration, taking into consideration the reception capacities of the individual Member States. It is a policy that is both realistic and humane. The human rights of migrants residing legally on the territory of the European Union must be respected, and their integration must be promoted, while preventing any abuse and taking our own limits in terms of reception into consideration. In France, 29 400 residence permits were granted in 2010 to third-county nationals for the purposes of family reunification. In Italy, the number of permits was 160 200, while in Finland, 40 times fewer permits were issued over the same period. The conditions for granting permits for the purposes of family reunification differ considerably from one Member State to another. Despite the efforts made, the level of convergence between national family reunification policies is very low. The European Commission has already stressed on several occasions that this is partially due to shortcomings and deficiencies in the transposition of this 2003 directive. It is always a good idea to consult civil society and the actors concerned but, above all else, it is important to ensure that the existing law is complied with and implemented correctly. If this is not the case, I call on the European Commission not to hesitate to be more reactive than it has been up to now. The European Commission has presented its Green Paper. Why is the current situation as it is, Commissioner, and what else do you propose?"@en1
