lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, there is a principle in English civil law called ‘to one who is willing, no harm is done’. In other words, you cannot sue if you put yourself in danger of loss or injury. These illegal immigrants were not kidnapped in their own countries by wicked Europeans who then brought them to Europe and incarcerated them for eighteen months or more. They chose to enter an EU country illegally and then avoided being repatriated. Presumably they are free to return to their countries of origin, but refuse to do so. We have heard that illegal immigrants – those who do not leave – are usually given a piece of paper ordering them to leave, in order to avoid them disappearing. If their stay is a long one it is usually because of extensive court actions to avoid repatriation. While talking about a breach of the Returns Directive, we learned in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs on 31 March that in 2012 only 37% of those given a return decision eventually left. The other 63% remained."@en1
