"Since the Treaty of Amsterdam entered into force, the EU has had very wide powers in terms of controlling migration flows. These powers are now being called upon to manage the recent influx of refugees fleeing from the troubles in North Africa, especially Libya. The ‘Arab spring’ is a potent symbol of freedom, but it also masks a more tragic reality which is causing large numbers of civilians to take to the road (or to the sea in this instance) in search of asylum. This resolution therefore calls upon EU and international institutions to take stock of the consequences entailed by these vast population movements. I supported it because individual Member States cannot cope with this situation alone: cooperation and sharing must guide the way we handle it. The Union’s new foreign policy architecture introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, and more specifically the creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS), should also allow the action of the Member States to be coordinated more effectively."@en1
