". Mr President, I would like to add my voice to that of Mrs Roure, who has painted an extremely vivid picture of the situation that Parliament’s delegation found in Malta. I would also like to add my voice and that of my group to what we have heard from Mr Zappalà and Mrs Roure about its implications, not just in Malta but in various other places our delegation has visited, including Dublin. What seemed like an extremely logical system at the time to the majority of Parliament – not to all of us – has real problems that need addressing. We have heard that a number of these problems are due partly to a lack of resources and a lack of expertise. The Commission has said that in the framework of the continuation of the asylum policy one of its aims would be to ensure that all Member States were operating to the highest possible standards and best practice. So I am pleased to hear about the expert teams, but the Commission should not underestimate how many of them will be needed in many parts of the Union. I assume that they will be working together with agencies such as UNHCR and others that have such expertise. That in itself has budgetary implications in terms of the money that the European Union gives UNHCR. We are already a large donor to UNHCR and if we are going to ask more of it, we will need to take that into account. I also have a question to the Commission about the timescale in relation to Malta: how fast does it think expert teams can get in there? Furthermore, what other resources will be needed to help the Maltese in the long term to treat people with the dignity they deserve?"@en1
