The approach to issues relating to the granting of asylum has swung between two extreme perspectives, neither of which has, in practice, proved an effective means of resolving the problem.
The truth is that neither the concept of Fortress Europe nor that of Sanctuary Europe has much to do with reality. They are both caricatures, distortions of a complex issue that is intrinsically linked to people’s rights and expectations and to the need to safeguard collective security and public order.
At a time when the area of freedom, security and justice is being consolidated, I feel that it is appropriate to address this issue and the role of countries of origin and of transit in the problem before us.
Whilst I understand the generosity underpinning the rapporteur’s proposal, I cannot vote in favour of it, because, as regards granting refugee status, the proposal does not only deal with the cases of individuals – it widens the scope to subsidiary protection, and this raises doubts as to the appropriateness and proportionality of the proposal."@en1
