"Mr President, we should be under no illusion during the present discussions. For example, one should bear in mind that the European practice of focusing on child welfare when it comes to asylum petitions, drives many under-aged children from the developing world into the arms of people traffickers and thus into dangerous situations of dependency.
I do not believe that we should broaden the interpretation of the term ‘family’. If handled too loosely, this would result in a tidal wave of family members seeking to join those who have already successfully obtained asylum, reinforcing a form of illegal immigration.
There are already countless hoards of people throughout Europe who have crossed our borders illegally and who have no entitlement to asylum under the Geneva Convention. Their hope is that they will be legalised some time and huge numbers of lawyers in so-called asylum organisations are slowing down the hopeless cases. In Austria alone, 15% of all asylum cases have a positive outcome for the applicant. Clearly, some shady dealing then goes on at the expense of the other 85%. We should prevent this at all costs."@en1
