"Madam President, there is no doubt that the discussion here this evening has also demonstrated that this is a very important subject for all of us. It is incredibly important for us to discuss the situation in Greece with regard to migration so that we can maintain focus on the challenges that Greece is facing in this area.
As Commissioner Malmström has just quite rightly said, Greece has a great deal of work ahead of it, and it is important to always consider how we can show genuine and practical solidarity with Greece and other Member States that experience considerable migration pressure. That is, of course, why we need to assist each other in the EU and ensure that there is a national preparedness system, so that every Member State is immediately able to handle unexpected migration pressure, and it goes without saying that this should, of course, be done with full respect for any obligations under EU and international law. In addition, there is a need to work to prevent crises in a Member State’s asylum system – that is self-evident – and to provide support and a helping hand when a crisis does occur.
That is what we are doing and will continue to do in Greece, and on the strength of this support, we can help to ensure that, as soon as possible, Greece will have an asylum system in which the asylum processing is both fair and efficient and the reception facilities function well. This will help us to ensure normalisation of the Dublin cooperation.
Lastly, I would like to thank you for an excellent debate. It has been interesting to hear your views. This is a subject that deserves thorough debate, because, as I said, it is an enormous challenge for Greece and, in truth, it is also an enormous challenge for our European cooperation."@en1
