"Mr President, congratulations to the rapporteur, Mr Tavares, on his excellent work and on having finally reached an agreement. The process has been too long, owing to the inexplicable deadlock in the Council. This agreement has already been applauded by Mr Coelho from my party. It is inexplicable, particularly for the thousands of refugees living through humanitarian tragedy; waiting in camps, the majority of which are in chaos, under sub-human conditions and running the risk of feeding human-trafficking networks.
The statistics show the urgency of the situation: there was a 15% increase in 2011 compared with the previous year. The 27 EU Member States as a whole received around 280 000 applications for asylum. The European Refugee Fund should deliver funding for actions in the interests of the European Union as a whole, but also actions at international or merely national level, with a view to creating a joint European Union resettlement programme.
The reception and protection systems of a number of Member States have been drastically put to the test, owing to the unexpected arrival of a large number of people requiring international protection, particularly from countries like Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Tunisia and Côte d’Ivoire. It is therefore crucial that the Member States be able to make use of EU funds to improve their reception systems and to encourage resettlement."@en1
