"In the negotiations with the Council, Parliament succeeded in securing a number of key points: the explicit reference to regional protection programmes, especially the visibility of North Africa, the addition of ‘survivors of violence and/or torture’ to the vulnerable persons category and a reference to refugees from Iraq. I therefore voted in favour of this agreement at second reading. In addition, the negotiations on this text, aimed at amending the decision establishing the European Refugee Fund in the light of the establishment of a joint EU resettlement programme, have been going on for nearly two years. We cannot allow this situation to continue when there are thousands of refugees who could benefit from this programme. Indeed, resettlement is the only viable and safe solution as these people are often in an extremely vulnerable situation. The European Union must step up its resettlement efforts in order to protect refugees and maximise the impact of resettlement by focusing, where possible, on those most in need, in accordance with the common priorities established at EU level."@en1
