"Mr President, thank you Mr Billström. I wonder if, at times, we do not become a little too fixated on the words ‘illegal immigration’. After all, it cannot be illegal to flee for your life, since human rights and freedoms apply to everyone, wherever they live. I would like to emphasise that it is also vital to find out what conditions are like in the countries that people are fleeing from. Perhaps the EU could be more active and do more in those countries so that people do not need to flee only to subsequently be labelled illegal immigrants. Perhaps, as I said before, we are too fixated on the word ‘illegal’. As I say, it is perfectly legal to stand up for human rights and freedoms both inside and outside the EU."@en1
