Problemet er, at der sidder mennesker i centrene i årevis, og det bliver man skør af!", sagde Britta Thomsen.
She agreed that the main problem is the length of time refused asylum seekers stay inside the centres: “We are very concerned about the people who spend years and years, without the possibility to work – It’s also a way to create socially handicapped children.”
Britta Thomsen har tidligere udtrykt stor utilfredshed med, at integrationsminister Birthe Rønn Hornbech ikke ønskede at møde LIBE- udvalgets delegation: ”Hvis jeg var ansvarlig for den asylpolitik, som hun fører, ville jeg også være flov” .
The delegation members expressed regret that they had not been able to meet the Danish Minister for Integration, Birthe Rønn Hornbech.
For Søren Søndergaard er det største problem ligeledes, den tid som afviste asylansøgere tilbringer i de danske centre: ”Problemet er, at vi har skabt et system, der ødelægger mennesker.
"We would have liked to speak to the minister about the law, which apparently causes people to spend several years in the Danish asylum centres," Mr Demetriou said.
Det ødelægger mennesker at sidde i årevis i centrene, og det er ikke normen at sidde så lang tid i andre lande".
The aim of the EP missions is to check whether Community standards are being followed in EU states.
Hensigten med delegationsbesøget var jo, at vi skulle diskutere og lære af hinanden, og den type for internationalt samarbejde burde man være åben overfor".
So far, delegations from the Civil Liberties Committee have visited detention centres in Italy, Spain, France, Malta, Greece, Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, Poland and now Denmark.
I morgen bringer vi et kort interview med en asylansøger, der har tilbragt de sidste tre sidste år i Sandholmlejren.
In our next article on immigration we will take a closer look at the main problems that asylum seekers face in their daily lives.

Livet på et asylcenter
MEPs hear about life as an asylum seeker: Zina Rasam's story
Vi fik en snak med Rasam efter arrangementet.
Zina Rasam is a graduate of civil engineering from Iraq.
Zina Rasam har boet i Sandholmlejren siden 2005, hvor hun sammen med sin tiårige datter blev genforenet med sin mand.
She has been in the Sandholm detention centre near Copenhagen since 2005.
Hun kommer oprindeligt fra Irak, hvor hun har en kandidatgrad som civilingeniør.
On 10 April she spoke to MEPs about her experiences in the camp and her hopes for the future.
Efter at hendes første ansøgning om asyl blev afvist, er hendes sag nu blevet genåbnet.
Zina and her 10 year old daughter joined her husband, who had been in the camp since 2000, at Sandholm over three years ago.
Hun venter nu i spænding på, hvad fremtiden vil byde hende og hendes familie.
She is waiting to hear if her appeal to be granted asylum will be accepted after her initial request was rejected.
At bo flere år i et center medfører en masse stress og nervøsitet.
Spending several years in a centre creates a lot of stress and nervousness," she said.
Sygdomstegn som hovedpine, maveproblemer og højt blodtryk er meget udbredt i lejren", sagde hun.
Zina explained that "illnesses like headaches, stomach cramps and high blood pressure are very common".
Internationale undersøgelser viser, at antallet af selvmordsforsøg i asylcentre er omkring seks gange højere end i resten af samfundet.
She said "international studies show that the number of attempted suicides within asylum centers is approximately six times higher than outside in the surrounding society."
Men efter at hendes ansøgning om asyl er blevet taget op til ny overvejelse, er der stadig en gnist af håb: "Jeg håber, at jeg vil kunne blive boende her i Danmark sammen med min mand og datter.
The fact that her case as been reopened has given her hope that one day she will be allowed to stay: "I hope I will be able to stay here in Denmark with my husband and daughter.
Vi har ingen fremtid i Irak.
Our future is not in Iraq.
Jeg håber, at jeg snart vil lære at tale dansk - min lille datter taler allerede godt dansk, og hun ønsker også at blive her".
I hope to learn Danish soon – my little daughter already speaks Danish very well, and she also wishes to stay here."
Langt størstedelen af opholdstilladelser udstedes til studerende og personer, der kommer for at arbejde i Danmark.
Last year the Danish authorities granted asylum to 1275 individuals and gave out a total of over 37,000 residence permits.
Asylbørn er de mest udsatte
The plight of children stuck in the asylum system
Britta Thomsen og Jeanine Plasschaert hilser på to små børn i Sandholmlejren Mange asylbørn har forud for deres ankomst til modtagelseslandet stærkt traumatiske oplevelser med i bagagen.
MEPs Thomsen MEP (left) and Hennis-Plasschaert meet children in Denmark.
Disse oplevelser har ofte en meget skadelig effekt på børnenes evne til at lære og socialisere med andre mennesker.
One aspect that a recent visit to asylum centres in Denmark brought home was the fate of children in such centres around Europe.
Ifølge Ugeskrift for Læger viser 35 % af asylbørnene mellem 4 og 16 år tegn på psykiske lidelser, mens andelen er oppe på 58 % for børn mellem 11 og 16 år.
Last year there were 466 children in asylum centres in Denmark alone and on average their wait will be 2.4 years before their case is resolved.
I gennemsnit tilbringer børn 2,4 år på danske asylcentre.
During the MEPs' visit to Denmark leading medical experts and NGO's warned of the psychological effect on children.
Børnene er de største tabere Psykiater Bente Reich var en af gæstetalerne, da Europa-Parlamentets Informationskontor i København sidste torsdag arrangerede en debataften, hvor lokale NGO´er, havde mulighed for at give deres mening til kende om den danske asylpolitik.
Psychiatrist Bente Reich told a meeting of MEPs and asylum experts in Copenhagen on 10 April that "the children are the big losers, because they are very dependent on the environment in the family".
Hun understregede i sin tale, at det har alvorlige konsekvenser for menneskers fysiske og psykiske helbred at tilbringe årevis i et asylcenter: "Når forældrene bliver syge svækkes deres evne til at opdrage deres børn.
Children showing signs of metal illness She warned of the dangers of depressed parents - "if the parents for instance are suicidal, the children will do anything to protect them".
Børnene bliver de store tabere, da de jo er meget afhængige af familiemiljøet".
The risks of parents committing suicide is a very real one - figures for the period 2001-2007 showed that 43 parents in the Danish asylum system tried to commit suicide.
Asylbørnenes evne til at lære og socialisere med andre mennesker svækkes, når forældrene ikke længere er i stand til at levere tryghed i hjemmet.
According to Ms Reich, an unstable family environment also affects the children’s social and educational abilities in a very negative way.
"Den bedste måde at rehabilitere på, er at give dem vished om deres fremtid", sagde Reich.
"The best way to start rehabilitation is to give them certainty about their future."
Inger Neufeld fra Red Barnet fortalte, at det indimellem sker, at børn forsvinder (går under jorden), når deres forældre får at vide, at de har fået afslag på asyl.
Inger Neufeld of "save the children" told us that often asylum children disappear when they are told that they have to return their country of origin.
Hendes far blev dræbt for mange år siden af irakiske sikkerhedsstyrker under Saddam Husseins regime i 1990´erne.
Her father was killed many years ago by the Iraqi authorities under Saddam Hussein's regime.
Jeg håber, at jeg en dag vil blive i stand til at tage del i samfundet - ligesom alle andre unge mennesker".
She went on to say that "I hope that I will one day be able to take part in society, like all other young people".
Ordfører Martine Roure bakkede op om delegationsformandens synspunkter og tilføjede, at de lange opholdstider bidrager til at skabe "socialt handicappede børn".
The final word on the visit goes to Mr Demetriou, "children are the most valuable creatures and we have to take more care of them.
På fredag bringer vi et kort interview med delegationsformanden.
Beyond the rules and regulations - we are dealing with children."

Panayiotis Demetriou: "Der bør vedtages fælles EU-politikker på immigrationsområdet"
Panayiotis Demetriou MEP: "unified policies on immigration" needed
Delegationsformand, Panayiotis Demetriou (EPP-ED, Cypern) Forholdene på asyl - og tilbageholdelsescentre var i fokus i sidste uge, da en delegation fra Europa-Parlamentets Borgerrettighedsudvalg besøgte Danmark.
Cypriot MEP Panayiotis Demetriou who headed the delegation to Denmark Asylum seekers and detention of immigrants was under the spotlight when MEPs from the Civil Liberties Committee visited asylum and detention centres in Demark 9-10 April.
Delegationen var ledet af Panayiotis Demetriou (EPP-ED, Cypern), der også har deltaget i tilsvarende delegationsrejser til Storbritannien og Grækenland.
The delegation was headed by Cypriot MEP Panayiotis Demetriou (EPP-ED), who has also participated in similar missions to the UK and Greece.
Vi spurgte ham, hvordan forholdene var på de danske centre, og hvad han tror, at der vil komme ud af disse delegationsbesøg.
We asked him about his view on the conditions for asylum seekers in Denmark, and what he thinks will come out of these visits to detention centres around Europe.
Hvordan vil du beskrive forholdene på de danske centre sammenlignet med situationen i nogle af de andre lande som borgerrettighedsudvalget har besøgt?
After having seen the detention centre and the asylum centre in Denmark, how would you describe the conditions compared to the situation in the other countries the Civil Liberties committee has visited?
Hvad forventer du, at der vil komme ud af disse delegationsbesøg?
What do you expect will come out of these EP-delegations?
De fleste af centrene i de medlemslande som borgerrettighedsudvalget har besøgt huser illegale immigranter.
Most of the detention centres in the Members States, which delegations have visited, entertain mainly illegal immigrants.
I Danmark var der - for en stor dels vedkommende - tale om afviste asylansøgere.
In Denmark the centres visited entertain almost exclusively asylum seekers whose applications are rejected or are in process.
Ud fra et psykologisk perspektiv er der forskel på, om der er tale om et asylcenter eller et tilbageholdelsescenter med illegale immigranter.
Psychologically the climate differs in asylum seekers centres from that in illegal immigrant's detention centres.
De forskellige regler og praksisser, der gør sig gældende i de forskellige medlemsstater reflekteres i forholdende på de enkelte tilbageholdelsescentre.
The variety of practices and rules prevailing in each Member State is reflected in the conditions of the relevant detention centres in the Member States.
Derfor mener jeg, at der er behov for, at der bliver vedtaget fælles EU-politikker på immigrationsområdet så hurtigt som muligt.
Therefore basic unified policies on immigration should be adopted by European Union as soon as possible.
For de fleste er pakkerejser ensbetydende et par ugers afslapning i solen med venner og familie.
For most it is a week away in the sun, a time to relax and be with family and friends.
For nogle kan ferien dog ende i et mareridt, hvis de under rejsen kommer til skade.
However, for a minority it can be ruined by an accident or injury.
Undersøgelsen fokuserer på en branche, der i de senere år har ændret sig meget, i takt med Internettes udbredelse og de billige flybilletter.
The survey, compiled by leading academics and experts in the field, identifies an industry that is changing rapidly due to low cost airlines, the internet and more and more people assembling their own holidays - so called "dynamic packaging"
Der er ingen tvivl om, at pakkeferier er en populær rejseform.
There's no question about the popularity of package holidays - in particular in Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands and Italy.
Alene i Tyskland blev der i 2004 solgt ikke mindre end 24,5 millioner pakkerejser.
In 2004 in Germany 24.5 million package holidays were sold while in the UK the figure was 10.1 million.
De hyppigste årsager til uheld under rejsen
The report identified a number of factors that led to people being injured.
Dårlig Hygiejnestandarder i det pågældende land
Poor hygiene standards (the most common problem is diarrhoea)
Dårligt udstyr f.eks. ski)
Poor equipment i.e. poor quality skis.
Overdrevet alkoholforbrug
Current situation in the EU
Det konkluderes i undersøgelsen, at det eksisterende pakkerejsedirektiv fra 1990 skal strammes op.
The study found that despite issues of safety and liability covered by the Package Travel Directive in 1990, there is no specific legal instrument at EU level for tourist safety.
Derudover opfordres der i undersøgelsen til, at rejsearrangørernes juridiske forpligtigelser - i forbindelse med bookninger og andet - præciseres yderligere.
Finally, in the unlikely event of terrorism or of a natural disaster it says a tour operator and customer should also have the right to cancel but that the operator should monitor general risks and inform customers.
F.eks. bør rejsearrangørerne være ansvarlige for eventuelle fysiske skader på den rejsende, der skyldes mangler under flyrejsen.
Any legislative proposals the Commission does eventually produce will have to be approved by the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament.

Zina Rasam med hendes familie
Waiting for asylum: Zina Rasam and family
At bo på et asylcenter i årevis, ofte adskilt fra familie og venner, er dagligdag for mange tusinde asylansøgere verden over.
Spending years in an asylum centre separated from family and friends and unable to work in the outside community - this is the distressing story that many asylum seekers in Europe currently face.
Hun venter nu i spænding på, hvad fremtiden vil byde hendes familie
She is waiting to hear if her appeal to be granted asylum will be accepted after her initial request was rejected.
Det værste er usikkerheden omkring ens fremtid
Waiting exacts a mental and physical toll
"Vi håber at kunne bidrage til samfundet"
A strong desire to work and "contribute to society"
Langt størstedelen af opholdstilladelser udstedes til studerende og personer, der kommer for at arbejde i Danmark.
Zina Rasam and her family are hoping that this year they will be among the lucky ones granted asylum.
Er piratkopiering en forbrydelse?
Bono and the internet pirates
Guy Bono
Guy Bono MEP doesn't want non-profit pirates criminalised
Piratkopiering på nettet koster hvert år musik- og filmbranchen millioner af kroner.
The music and film industry is reeling from the impact of online piracy.
Hvorfor er det forkert at blokere piraters adgang til Internettet?
Why are you against blocking access to the internet for software pirates?
Fordi det står i modstrid til den personlige frihed og menneskerettighederne: Før vi kan blokere illegale downloaderes adgang til Internettet, er vi nødt til at have adgang til deres computere og filtrere deres data.
It goes against people's freedoms and human rights: to cut internet access for those who illegally download material we would need to access their computers and to filter their data, which is an attack on privacy .
Dette er et angreb på den personlige frihed.
Around 80% of people who download materials are youngsters who do not feel they are doing something really illegal.
80 % af dem der downloader er unge mennesker, der ikke har følelsen af, at de gør noget, der er meget ulovligt.
A couple of warnings will not stop them from doing that.
Det er helt naturligt, at mennesker udnytter Internettets muligheder!
It is natural that people exploit the possibilities of the internet!
Det var ikke noget, der ødelagde pladen!
This did not kill the disc.
De præventive udspil, der har været fremme, er disproportionale i forhold til hvad det vil sige at downloade.
Some measures which have been suggested are disproportionate to the act of downloading.
At blokere unge menneskers adgang til nettet ville være en katastrofe: Hvem kan f.eks. finde et job uden adgang til Internettet i disse tider?
Depriving young people of the internet is a disaster: who can find a job without the internet these days?
At kriminalisere internetbrugerne vil ikke være løsningen på musikbranchens krise!
The CD/DVD industry is in crisis, there's no doubt about it, and downloading contributes to it.
Hvad er den mest effektive måde at bekæmpe piratkopiering på?
What is the most efficient way to combat digital piracy?
Jeg tror, at vi er nødt til at samle alle forbrugere, kunstnere og teleoperatører omkring et bord.
I think that we need to gather consumers, artists and telecom operators around the table.
EU kunne lancere noget i samme stil som MEDIA (der støtter biografer) for musikbranchen.
The EU could set up a program equivalent to MEDIA (which supports cinema) for the disc industry.
Internetudbydere burde også betale deres del af prisen.
Telecom operators also have their share to pay: the internet is a source of major revenue for them while creating losses for artists.
De tjener store penge på Internettet, mens mange kunstnere taber penge.
Let's be harsh with those making money from piracy, but let's not have imprisonment - it is not murder!
Downloading bør knyttes til finansiel kompensation.
After explaining that this should not be done the kid will do it once or twice, but finally he will understand it is not allowed.
Der må udføres et stort udannelsesmæssigt arbejde.
Here we have a similar situation.
Gennem uddannelse vil vi kunne reducere omfanget af den ulovlige downloading.
With the right education we can reduce the extent of illegal downloading.
Er downloading ikke det samme som at stjæle fra kunstneren?
Is illegal downloading stealing from the artist?
Det er dem, der allerede er veletablerede og tjener nok til at kunne leve af det, som har problemet.
Those who are already well established are mostly unhappy about it.
Vores tid handler om at bruge Internettets muligheder: Hvorfor skal man blokere adgangen?
We have to ge up-to-date, our time is about using the internet: why block access?
Hvorfor skal man forbyde unge mennesker at tegne et internetabonnement?
What’s the use of cutting the internet subscription of a youngster?
Forbud har aldrig været løsningen på noget.
Prohibition never solved anything.

MEP´ere bekymrede for menneskerettighedssituationen i Burma
Burma: EU needs "coherent strategy" ahead of military's poll
Menneskerettighedssituationen i Burma er på det seneste blevet drastisk forværret.
So total is the regime's power that it thought nothing of renaming the country and moving the capital city.
Befolkningen skal den 10. maj stemme om en forfatning, som er udarbejdet af landets militærregime.
Its next move is a 10 May referendum on a Constitution that will give the military power and keep opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi out of politics.
Burmas 400.000 munke, der sidste år protesterede imod landets siddende regering, har fået forbud mod at deltage i folkeafstemningen.
Dutch Socialist Thijs Berman, who chaired the hearing, called for the UN Security Council to launch an inquiry into human rights violations.
Ifølge udkastet til den nye forfatning har militæret krav på 25 % af pladserne i parlamentet.
He called for parliament to adopt a resolution on Burma when it next meets in plenary session.
Forslag til at forbedre situationen
EU support urged for Aung San Suu Kyi
Hovedparten af deltagerne i høringen var enige om behovet for at implementere mere målrettede sanktioner mod det burmesiske regime.
He also called for a coherent strategy in relations to Burma's key neighbours China and India in order to coordinate the international response to the regime.
Glenys Kinnock (PES, Storbritannien) argumenterede for, at EU´s udviklingshjælp bør knyttes til den demokratiske udvikling i landet.
British Labour MEP Glenys Kinnock said any development assistance to the country (Burma is one of the poorest in the world) should be linked to political progress.
José Ribeiro e Castro (EPP-ED, Portugal) opfordrede til, at man støttede oppositionskandidaten Aun San Suu Kyi og oprettede et tættere samarbejde med Burmas nabolande for at påvirke regeringen.
It was part of a wider call by many participants for "smarter sanctions" and other measures to bring the regime to heed democratic calls.
Thijs Berman (PSE, Holland) forslog, at man lagde pres på de virksomheder, der opererer i Burma.
One solution could be to apply stricter travel restrictions to leading figures in the regime.
Han mente, at de i højere grad skulle tage et socialt ansvar.
Economic pressure should also be applied according to Mr Berman, who would like pressure put on international companies who do business with the regime.
Endelig opfordrede Berman til at man tog menneskerettighedssituationen i Burma op til diskussion i FN´s Sikkerhedsråd.
The EU's special envoy for Burma Piero Fassino told MEPs that the regime had refused a UN plan that would have led to democracy.
