"Thank you very much for your answer. The problem with the current regulations governing asylum applications lies not with the regulations themselves and with our letting in too many refugees because, in Europe, we have both the resources and a moral responsibility to receive people in need of protection. Instead, the problem is the people smuggling through which unscrupulous traders entice people to try to make their way in by unlawful routes.
Our own regulations, which make it difficult to apply for, and obtain, visas, also mean that there are more and more traffickers in human beings. That is not how we should arrange matters. The Council has also produced inhumane proposals for border forces and for free zones in third countries where we should keep refugees seeking asylum. That is not something of which I approve. I believe we should have an arrangement that strengthens the asylum procedure.
One method is contained in the proposal that has been submitted by the researcher Gregor Noll and about which I have put my question. It is a proposal I believe is well worth examining. I should like to ask the Commissioner what advantages and disadvantages he sees in the researcher’s, Gregor Noll’s, proposal that asylum should be sought in the EU countries’ embassies around the world. It would be interesting to hear the answer to that question."@en1
