"Mr President, Ms Malmström, Mr Stachańczyk, the European Conservatives and Reformists Group finds several significant and important things in the directive. For example, the emphasis given to the fact that it is the Member States which are responsible for the conduct of asylum policy, which means they should have the power to introduce or maintain more favourable provisions than the standards laid down in the directive. We see this as something which is reasonable and which should be stressed.
Another thing we think is significant and worthy of emphasis is the question of maintaining the principle of family unity. However, the ECR Group will abstain from voting on this directive, because we have certain doubts concerning the extension of the definition of family members and the fairly narrow grounds for refusing to grant refugee status. Our group is of the opinion that on questions of asylum and immigration, cooperation between the Member States and the European Union should be subject to coordination rather than compulsion. This is why we are going to abstain."@en1
