"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is actually absurd. With regard to this important subject of a resettlement programme, we have achieved agreement across all of the groups. Many of the Member States are already implementing resettlement programmes. In other words, there is broad consensus that this is necessary and, above all, that it is not only an urgent, but also a highly volatile situation – as demonstrated in particular by the current situation in Africa. Thus, it is actually absurd that, even though there is agreement from almost all sides, this can founder simply as a result of the technical implementation. It is the duty of both the European Parliament – we are aware of this and that is why we have tabled a proposal – and the Council to assume responsibility here and to push this matter forward.
I have experienced the Polish Presidency to be very creative, also in connection with the asylum package. It has tabled new proposals. For that reason, I am really placing my hope in the fact that you will now see the opportunity and present us with a proposal that is workable for the Council, the Commission and for us as Parliament, and that now, as we are in any case all in agreement, we can finally also tackle the implementation and – as Mr Tavares also said – can finally bridge that period that costs some people their lives. That is something that we need to be aware of in relation to this matter. I do not mean to be dramatic here, but each additional day that it takes us can cost someone’s life."@en1
