Mr President, Mrs Lambert's report sets the two communications in the framework of achieving a common European asylum system. In the asylum chapter of the Hague Programme the objective of a common European asylum system is fully confirmed and an ambitious deadline of 2010 is set for the realisation of that goal.
The Commission will ensure that the deadline is met and that the European Parliament will play a key role in that task. As of spring 2005 the European Parliament will be a co-legislator in the process necessary to bring this about. The Hague Programme also reflects the fact that the external dimension of asylum is being recognised as increasingly important in the EU. The improvement of the global protection system is something that can benefit refugees the world over and can help to better share out the responsibilities for refugees with those countries that accommodate the greater part of the refugee population. That is also in the EU's interest. I am grateful to the rapporteur for recognising the importance of this work and the financial implications involved. The full support of the European Parliament is required.
The durable solutions communication explores how the EU can enhance protection capacities in regions of origin and also help ensure more orderly and managed entry into the EU of persons in need of international protection through the setting-up of an EU-wide resettlement scheme. Refugees should be able to access protection as quickly as possible and as closely as possible to their needs. The emphasis here is on burden sharing rather than burden shifting, on exploring with third countries how we can work together to address a common challenge. These plans must be entirely complementary to, and not a substitute for, Member States' obligations under international human rights law, and in particular the 1951 Refugee Convention and the right to asylum in the European Union.
The Hague Programme is clear that the implementation of the second phase of the common European asylum system must be based on a robust evaluation of the impact of the measures taken in Member States. Our communication indicates a methodology for taking that evaluation forward and for how practical cooperation should be developed. That collaborative and consensus-driven methodology can also be applied to other areas under the asylum and migration
. For the longer term we should encourage and promote further cooperation among Member States in this field. That is what the Commission intends to do."@en1
