"Madam President, I voted against the report on the European Refugee Fund as I strongly believe that both asylum and immigration should be individual Member State national responsibilities. I would therefore oppose any move towards creating a common European asylum system. Any such attempt at a one-size-fits-all measure created to cover all EU Member States would, I believe, end in failure. On top of this, in many Member States, including my own, the United Kingdom, which has already taken a disproportionate number of refugees in recent decades, this would not work. The UK has actually done much to help asylum seekers and refugees who already find themselves within its borders. I accept that as much as possible must be done to help those who genuinely seek political refugee status, but the measures that this report proposes are not the best way of going about trying to improve matters."@en1
