"Madam President, I cannot understand what the PPE wants. I understand that some Members are against the directive we are going to vote on, but the vote in the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms was in favour of this directive by a clear majority. This morning we held a very fruitful debate with the Commissioner and I believe that, almost a year after the Tampere Summit, not to approve the first proposed directive on harmonisation in justice and internal affairs in the field of immigration, presented to us by the Commission, would be inexplicable and there is no justification for it.
I understand that there are Members who are totally against the right of immigrants to live as families, but that is not the majority position of this House, as was reflected in the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms. I therefore ask that we go ahead with the vote on this Commission proposal."@en1
