"Mr President, I should like to take my turn in congratulating Ms Lambert, who has done an excellent job on one of the most serious problems facing Europe today. However, I am very sceptical as to the efficacy of what we are debating. Reality is more tragic. My country, Greece, as the Commissioner knows full well, has become the main entry point for immigrants, especially from Arab Spring countries and, as a result, there has been a huge influx of immigrants into Greece. Turkey is unable to guard its borders in terms of people leaving and it is impossible to guard the Greek borders to stop them coming in. These two facts are creating an explosive situation and, as a result, hundreds and thousands of immigrants are congregating in Greece and their presence is starting, I would say, to no longer befit a civilised state. Commissioner Malmström, we need to revise the Dublin Regulation; because of the way in which it works, on the one hand, the poor refugees are being sent back to Greece and, on the other hand, the East keeps cramming them into Greece and, as a result, they are ‘stacking up’ in Greece. You need to find ways of helping now, so that, as decent human beings, we can cope with emerging needs."@en1
