"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the problem we are debating is clearly a public opinion problem.
How do we convince the Member States that a common resettlement policy is better? That a Member State wishes to maintain its sovereignty in this area is not an obstacle to there being a Union policy that sets some priorities, nor does it prevent these policies being reflected in European Refugee Fund (ERF) grants.
It is therefore urgent to break the stalemate on this issue, as there are many possible solutions. Perhaps the Council should consider this issue.
If the Member States can receive financing from the ERF without any conditions being attached, then there will never be a common resettlement policy.
Therefore, the common asylum policy is an unresolved issue that cannot be hidden away. Moreover, not tackling a joint strategy is unintelligent and miserly, and its only result will be that the consequences of this lack of response become worse day by day.
It is not merely a question of values: it is that the lack of coordination and common solidarity is more costly for the Member States."@en1
