"Mr President, of course we are duty bound to respect the right to family unification and of course the directive we are debating today is a decisive act which is supported by the Green Paper in the Commission’s recent communication. There can be no doubt, and I wish to stress this point, that we all need to give this issue due attention. However, do you know what my fellow Greek citizens will ask me following this debate? They will ask me – as they constantly ask me – what, in the midst of all this discussion, is Europe doing, what are all of you doing, about the gangs that force even the facilitators, that force third-country nationals to get married, what are you doing so that we can develop infrastructures in the countries with the biggest problems? One hundred and fifty thousand illegal immigrants a year enter Greece. In the centre of Athens, there are areas that have become ghettos. What are you doing for all of us Greek citizens who are unable to leave our homes after nine at night? I should like to close by saying that this is a very important issue, but we cannot isolate it from the overall framework of immigration policies."@en1
