"Managing migratory flows is one of the great challenges of our time. The European Union has struggled to build a common migration policy that is progressive and ambitious, so I welcome the adoption of a new joint programme for refugee resettlement. According to figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 200 000 people are forced to flee their country every year. It is our responsibility to support them. This new programme strengthens the European Union’s role in terms of international protection and encourages the Member States to step up their refugee resettlement efforts and to focus on the most vulnerable groups, such as women and children. To date, 13 European countries have set up resettlement programmes. Finally, thanks to the adoption of this new programme, the Member States will receive additional funding from the European Union to enable them to resettle refugees in their territory, by way of the European Refugee Fund, set up in 2000."@en1
