lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I trust our excitable friend is now lying down in a darkened room. I was one of those who negotiated the Return Directive. Certainly the section on detention was an extremely difficult one and I think that the results are not results which we should necessarily be proud of, but the directive is extremely clear that any detention shall only be maintained as long as removal arrangements are in progress and executed with due diligence. So that means that things have to be moving, people have to be informed of what is happening and if that is not the case they should not be in detention. The courts are clear on this, UNHCR has raised questions about the changes going on in Greece, but I think we also have some issues here in terms of the follow-up to the Stockholm Programme, in what we are doing that actually helps make returns sustainable in terms of preparation, prospects and indeed follow-up, to find out what actually does happen to people on return. We have reports – verified reports – of people tortured on return, for example to Sri Lanka and indeed other countries. I think we also need to be paying more attention to those who cannot be returned, either because of the lack of cooperation of the country of return or the situation in that country and of those who are actually stateless. We have to avoid deliberately making people destitute and potential victims of criminals who prey on the vulnerable."@en1
