"Mr President, I also welcome the fact that after 14 years we have reached this important step towards the establishment of a European asylum system. I, together with others in this House, have lived every one of those years on this bumpy journey. I also agree with those who say that this is not a perfect package, nor is it yet a truly common system. It will depend on proper implementation, backed up if and when appropriate by the Commission and Court enforcement powers. We are not yet there in having both fairness and efficiency across the EU and asylum management, but I would say to my British Conservative colleague, Mr Kirkhope, that we need both common EU laws and practical cooperation. I think it is helpful that the Conservative-led government in the UK is at least opting into the Dublin and Eurodac regulations, even if it has not been persuadable on the other measures. On Eurodac, ALDE was reluctant in the extreme about police access, which was the main point of contention. But I, as the shadow, was aware of the realities about needing to get a package deal, so I concentrated strongly on the safeguards needed for individual rights – safeguards which were not, I have to say, present in the Parliament rapporteur’s original report. I am particularly pleased that we managed to persuade the Council not to insist on a 10-year period of access, for both asylum and law enforcement purposes, to the data of those who had received international protection. We managed to persuade the Council to keep to three years; that is already a bit long, but at least it then aligns with the period stipulated in the Qualifications Directive for the granting of an initial residence permit. I know the Council wants this time period monitored, but I believe that was a major triumph for Parliament to try and restrict access by police to data of those who have been granted international protection."@en1
