In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 7.6 with the following paragraph:

"in particular, cases of family reunification should be granted in view of the circumstances regarding the economic sustainability of the person already granted a residency permit in the country of destination in Europe, as well as the ability of that person to support the reunified family in the country through other means than state subsidies. Only in special cases should this principle be waivered."
