"Thank you, Mr President, for giving me the opportunity to answer this question.
I think that we should first look for the beam in our own eye. Europe has made a mess of its own asylum system. As long as we continue to do that and as long as we remain unwilling to help Greece get the asylum seekers off its back, once and for all, and to ensure that we all have a uniform procedure for assessing whether or not someone is a genuine political refugee, we will never be in a position to shift the blame onto others.
I agree with you, Mr Madlener, that human traffickers should be arrested and that Turkey really should set up a decent asylum system, a system that recognises political refugees who do not come from the European Union, but from elsewhere. Having said that, I would first look for the beam in our own eye and put our own house in order."@en1
