"Refugees are normal people who find themselves in difficult situations for political, racial or socio-economic reasons. Around 200 000 people need to be resettled every year. Although the ideal situation would be repatriation, the truth is that they cannot return to their country of origin the majority of the time. This recommendation for second reading, by Mr Tavares, concerns the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Decision No 573/2007/EC establishing the European Refugee Fund for the period 2008 to 2013 as part of the General programme ‘Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows’. In the past, Europe was a desirable destination for many refugees, who sought security and the chance of a new life in the EU. As solidarity is one of the EU’s oldest values, it is crucial that the Union continue to practise it, despite the present economic and financial crisis. I voted for this recommendation because it confirms a programme that will enable many more people at risk to enter the EU, thereby giving them a new opportunity."@en1
