"The history of Europe is a history of emigration. For centuries, millions of Europeans have left seeking refuge, better living conditions or hope. Many travelled within Europe, but many more left for other continents. What country has not, at points in its history, had very difficult times when many of its nationals had to seek refuge outside its borders? People fleeing wars, democrats persecuted by fascist regimes, and economic emigrants from Ireland, Poland, Galicia, Italy, etc. It is therefore a moral imperative for Europe to create a European Refugee Fund that helps people in situations of extreme vulnerability to actually integrate. That is why I voted for this report. However, there is a need to go much further. Every day, children are arrested for being illegal immigrants. This practice is, unfortunately, widespread in countries like Malta, Greece, Italy and Hungary. These are children of only eight years’ old who are detained alone in reception centres or prisons. The Commission, Parliament and Council should take urgent steps to bring an end to this horrendous human rights violation quickly."@en1
