"Mr President, I cannot agree with many of the points in Mr Catania’s report on the future of the European Common Asylum System and, for that reason, I must vote against it. While I agree with Mr Catania on the fact that the institution of asylum is an essential part of democracy and protection of human rights, in order to ensure that it remains, so it is absolutely necessary to avoid any kind of possible abuse.
To that end, rather than a common asylum system in Europe and rather than building a ‘Europe of asylum’, to use the words of the European Pact on Asylum and Immigration, adopted by the European Council last October, it would be more desirable to build a ‘Europe of rights’, which is to say, a Europe that combats the causes behind the increase in the number of refugees as pointed out by the rapporteur, which adopts a stronger international role to resolve conflicts in certain countries, which exerts pressure more decisively so that respect for dignity, human life and fundamental freedoms is guaranteed, wherever that is not yet the case. Combating the effects of these serious violations of rights does not resolve and will never be able to effectively resolve the underlying problem, for which other instruments should be used."@en1
