"Mr President, the disturbing revelation that more than 10 000 refugee children are missing across the EU is proof, if proof were needed, that Europe is failing appallingly in this humanitarian crisis.
The institutions of the EU have displayed nothing but continuous inhumanity by maintaining the ‘fortress Europe’ approach to this crisis. After fleeing wars, battling the winter elements and making crossings via land or sea, refugees are faced with enforced detention. It is abundantly clear that the kneejerk reaction and policies adopted by several Member States are failing miserably. The refugees that are fleeing barrel bombs and drone strikes should be met with open arms; instead they are detained, or pushed into the criminal claws of human traffickers and abusers.
Families are torn apart and childhood innocence is destroyed for ever. Little children are trafficked for sex work or slave labour. Organised criminal infrastructure is exploiting the refugee crisis and European policy is making its job easier. The provision of safe and legal routes for refugees and asylum seekers is the only way to prevent this dreadfulness."@en1
