lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the title of this debate, ‘EU support to refugees in Tunisia’, may, in fact, mislead those who are not aware of the reality of what we are talking about. I would like to thank the Commissioner for having presented data here on the aid which it has been possible to provide, but please allow me, as a rapporteur to Parliament for refugees, to express my indignation – and I know that the Commissioner will take the same view – at learning that not even people dying at the gates of Europe has compelled the Council to conclude the codecision that we adopted two years ago in Parliament. Not even people dying at the gates of Europe. At this point I would also like to address the Council, but I cannot, because the Council did not even come to this debate. It is remarkable that among the promises of the Member States on the resettlement of refugees, Europe will allow the resettlement of perhaps 600 refugees, while the US will resettle more than double that, and Canada and Australia will resettle almost as many. Yet Canada and Australia do not share, as we do, the same region, neighbourhood and future as these countries. I will finish merely by saying this: I realise that the Commissioner wants to be diplomatic by saying that the codecision procedure is blocked. However, the blame for the codecision procedure being blocked is not equally shared. When there was the problem of delegated acts, the Commission and the Council did not want them and submitted a proposal to us: within a fortnight – two weeks – we in Parliament had a counter-proposal without delegated acts. We have been waiting for a response from the Council and the Commission for four months. Parliament has been doing its job and it is down to them to resolve this problem, but the fact is that the problem lies in the Council’s failure to attend, and I would prefer it if the Commissioner tried to be fairer in her assessment."@en1
