"We are all aware of the recent environmental disaster that has struck Pakistan, the massive damage to the land, the damaged crops, the more than 10 million displaced persons and the thousands of dead. Our undertaking is to help this country and develop solidarity-based and coordination initiatives to facilitate a swift recovery. We must not, however, lose sight of the need to make the European area a safe place, because it has unfortunately been compromised by years of continuous flows of illegal immigration and illegal trafficking. The agreement on readmission procedures, reached after eight years of negotiations between the European Commission and Pakistan, outlines a clearer framework of cooperation and joint responsibility and is seen as a means of inhibiting illegal trading and trafficking in human beings. This agreement would prevent situations of repatriation that are unsupervised by the EU from occurring. Member States will firstly have to comply with relevant obligations arising from international law, such as the principle of ‘non-refoulement’, which will have procedural implications, since States are required to conduct an assessment of the risk of ill-treatment in the country of origin. We will also guarantee Pakistan our lasting cooperation and we will provide incentives for technical assistance programmes and programmes within the field of economic and social development and the fight against unemployment and social exclusion."@en1
