"Mr President, I welcome the Council's response to the original question. I just want the Minister to re-emphasise that this proposed legislation is aimed at those who exploit and make profit out of people in a desperate situation and is not aimed at further criminalising the immigrant or potential immigrant. It is about stopping gangs making money out of immigrants. That is what happened in Dover. It was organised business that ended up with people dying in the back of a truck because people were making money out of them. That is what we must end.
Would the Council also – and this is where I agree with Mrs Frahm – encourage the Member States to differentiate more clearly between asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants? At the moment it seems that Member States are beginning to forget their international obligations. We have an international obligation to treat asylum-seekers properly and to deal with them through specified procedures. Some Member States now seem to be confusing asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants."@en1
