lpv:translated text	". Huge discrepancies between the rich and poor in the world encourage migration, which only solves the problem for a small number of people and not for humanity as a whole. It is often the best educated and the most privileged who manage to enter Europe, often at the expense of useful roles they could be playing in their countries of origin. Such individual solutions, however, are necessary to those whose only chance of survival is to flee from war and suppression. It is not acceptable to send people to their deaths by establishing quota and to refuse access to others. Neither is it justifiable to send people back before the problem in their country of origin has been solved. Moreover, some refugees will want to stay on because their children and grandchildren have meanwhile been raised in the new country of residence. Some EU Member States admit many more refugees than others. It is remarkable that both those in favour of restricting and those in favour of extending the permits have for years been calling for a more centralised and standardised European policy. I can only agree with this if it means that the EU Member States will be more generous in applying minimum standards than those agreed in the Geneva Convention. It is easier to organise and supervise the protection of refugees on a small scale than by a remote bureaucracy."@en1
