"The resolution just adopted by the European Parliament on the area of freedom, security and justice (AFSJ) undoubtedly scales the same heights of irresponsibility to which, on immigration issues, this House has accustomed us.
Where asylum, for example, is concerned, it calls upon us quickly to ratify the Commission’s bad proposals concerning refugees. The European Parliament adds ideas of its own devising, such as the establishment of protected entry points for asylum seekers outside European Union territory, coupled with a ‘resettlement scheme at Community level’, whereby refugees would be transferred from a first reception country to the European Union (paragraph 13).
Because people in European countries are seemingly in danger of failing to understand these matters, the European Parliament is suggesting to the Member States that they adopt ‘the measures necessary to promote understanding of immigration and integration as positive factors for the economy and for economic growth, and as elements of cultural enrichment’ (paragraph 20).
The resolution continually asks the Council to adopt the Commission’s proposals more quickly. We, on the contrary, call upon the Council to curb these proposals and to reject them whenever they are lax. We once again regret that, on 1 May, the Commission will acquire a monopoly on initiatives in these matters."@en1
