"Madam President, I would like to thank the High Representative for all she is doing. Syrian refugees now make up almost 20% of the combined population of Lebanon and Jordan. To put things in perspective, this is equivalent to the EU taking in over 100 million refugees. The EU has significantly stepped up assistance, becoming the leading donor with over EUR 4.7 billion spent. However, no amount of aid is going to help Lebanon and Jordan accommodate the immense number of Syrian refugees. We must end the Syrian conflict so that refugees can eventually return home. Otherwise, the EU will have to engage in greater burden sharing – financially, but also in taking in more Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, we must work with these countries to address legal frameworks pertaining to their treatment of refugees.
Madam High Representative, are you planning to raise the question of employment laws for refugees, given that there is strong evidence that many Syrian refugees – including women and children – are exploited in the workplace?"@en1
