Euros: Francken and Visa Policy

euros: The tally so far is more than 30,000 euros . The bailiff could confiscate goods to pay the fines."We're going to use all possible legal means to fight this affair, according to Metro News. This is going too far," Francken told state broadcaster RTBF on Tuesday. Immigration Minister Theo Francken, whose office supervises Belgium visa authority, has been visited by a bailiff directed by the tribunal, demanding 1,000 euros per person for each day that visas are not delivered. Friends in the city of Namur have offered to lodge and feed the family. He also believes the government and not courts should rule on visa policy. But Francken said their links with the would-be refugees are tenuous and that granting visas could set a precedent that would open the floodgates to other demands. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
