"Madam President, at this stage of our debate, I am inevitably going to have to repeat or to support some of the things that have been said previously. However, like several of my fellow Members, I also wanted to say that the problems that we are having to face – problems which the whole of the European Union is having to face at the moment – cannot be resolved by one Member State alone. No Member State should have to rise alone to the challenges that it is facing and that, once again, the European Union as a whole, I believe, is facing. The ability of the European Union to organise itself and to handle the situation by working together and as one is therefore really what I am asking for. I believe that the time has truly come now to lay the foundations of a true European immigration and asylum policy. A European asylum and immigration pact was adopted over a year ago. The time has come now, I think, to apply it in a very concrete fashion. We heard the Commissioner; we heard a number of the recommendations that she was making. I would like to come back to them and to support very strongly some of her proposals. Yes, we must increase Frontex’s resources at all costs. We must increase its human, material and financial resources, and we must ensure that it can provide greater support to Operation Hermes and Operation Poseidon. Yes, we need extra, additional resources for those Member States that are principally affected, I would say, by the increased migration flows that we are seeing today. That will be the financial expression of our solidarity. Yes, we need to forge closer cooperative links with the countries of the Southern Mediterranean; we need to support them, of course, help them, and find instruments. The Commissioner mentioned – I believe that she travelled to Tunisia to speak on this issue – mobility partnerships. Yes, we need to strengthen those instruments in a spirit of responsibility, in a spirit of solidarity, but also in a spirit of real, specific action."@en1
