"Mr President, Mr Barrot, ladies and gentlemen, I too am pleased to be able to give my opinion on such a crucial debate as the asylum package, especially on the penultimate day of the parliamentary term. Through our various efforts, and despite the adoption of the first phase of the European asylum system, we have become aware of the persistent differences between the various Member States when it comes to the recognition of refugee status. We must also acknowledge, despite the significant advances made by the directive in relation to reception conditions – as mentioned in particular by my colleague Mrs Lefrançois, whose observations I fully support – we must acknowledge that the Member States still have too much room for manoeuvre on this issue. Therefore I too would insist that, in this area – above all in this area – a way must be found to apply European solidarity. Finally, now more than ever, I wish to point out that asylum seekers and those who require international protection are vulnerable and, as such, must be given very special attention. This means, in particular, that they should not be held in detention. The debate on the Return Directive is closed; we were all in agreement. There is no need to re-open that debate when we are discussing asylum."@en1
