"Mr President, we face an unprecedented situation and we must prioritise helping refugees fleeing horrific wars, both with their immediate needs and to give them hope and support for the longer term. But different countries can help in different ways and we should stop the finger-pointing. In the UK, for example, we are already providing more aid in Syrian camps than the rest of Europe put together, and offering to resettle the most vulnerable refugees directly from the camps in order not to encourage further people trafficking.
Individual countries, however, should consider the impact on their neighbours when they are granting asylum. Granting refugee status does not give that person automatic rights to move across Europe, and I think this needs to be very clear because otherwise we risk jeopardising public confidence in free movement in Europe. So let us be very clear to people about their rights, and even at this difficult time we must not postpone other reforms to build our economies. Unless our countries have long-term economic plans and strength, they will not be able to support people in our own countries or those who need our help in other parts of the world."@en1
