lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Denmark and Mr Haarder have today received well deserved praise. I agree with that praise. However, I am less satisfied with the EU’s refugee and immigration policy. The proposals are more often than not about control and repression. The global perspective is easily lost. What is required? Well, that poverty in the world be combated and that we obtain more aid, more trade and more democracy. Mr Haarder is well aware of this. We need a humane asylum policy based on respect and human dignity. All human beings are entitled to seek asylum within the EU. Not all will have reasons for requiring protection that enable them to stay, but all must be dealt with under the rule of law and under decent conditions, as well as having, for example, access to the labour market. The fact that the EU is opening the door to immigrant labour should ease the pressure on asylum policy and, at the same time, give us an opportunity to cope with the increasing population problems. The fact that the EU needs a common asylum policy is shown by the Danish example. When Denmark tightens up its policy, the refugees come to Sweden. A humanitarian EU must be able to do better. That requires codecision making in this Chamber, something of which Mr Haarder is more aware than anyone else."@en1
