lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European Court decision is not so much a condemnation against Belgium or Greece as it is as condemnation against the Dublin regulation, because it was that very Dublin regulation that allowed Belgium to transfer an Afghan person back to Greece. This is not fair. It is not fair that the border countries shoulder the burden single-handedly, because – let us be frank – the border countries are not there to act as police officers or border guards for the rest of the European Union countries. Therefore, in the wake of the decision handed down by the European Court of Justice, it is now clear that when a European country transfers an asylum seeker back to another European country that is under enormous pressure, it goes against the European Convention on Human Rights. Countries like Germany and the United Kingdom have already begun to recognise this and have suspended the transfers. However, what we need is for the Dublin regulation to be amended without delay."@en1
