"I welcome Parliament’s approval of the proposal to amend the 2007 decision establishing the European Refugee Fund (ERF). The UNCHR estimates that over 170 000 people will need to be resettled in 2012, whereas the EU at present resettles fewer than 5 000 annually, compared to over 80 000 in the US. Ireland is one of the EU Member States that already takes part on a voluntary basis in resettlement programmes for refugees who have been granted refugee status in third countries. The revised decision should encourage more Member States to take part in resettling refugees next year, the final year of the current ERF, by increasing the amount of financial support Member States receive from the ERF for resettlements and by enlarging the list of those whose resettlement will be financed by the ERF next year to include vulnerable people such as children, women at risk, unaccompanied minors, persons with serious medical needs, etc. I would encourage all Member States to notify the Commission by the agreed deadline of 1 May of the number of refugees they will resettle next year."@en1
