lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, this debate is particularly important because it would appear that the vital, protected right of family reunification of third-country nationals living in the European Union is under threat. It is protected on paper at least, as many, including the European Commission, have judged its application to be problematic. That is why it is essential for us to look on the public debate started by the Commission as an opportunity to strengthen that right, and not – as some people are trying to do – to weaken it. Immigration policy and the credibility of the European Union are already being so severely tested and questioned that the last thing we need is for anyone’s rights to be undermined. A good start would be if we were to refuse to accept baseless arguments. The reality is that family reunification covers a very small part of immigration and, secondly, when the Commission repeatedly asks the Member States for data on fraud, they never materialise; at least they have not done so to date. Let us be brave enough to enact equal treatment, the treatment we would wish for ourselves, and to see things in their real perspective."@en1
