"Mr President, I want to say first of all to Cecilia Wikström that she has our Group’s full support in what she has been saying on unaccompanied minors and I think we would also agree with a number of the other criticisms that have been made.
I have worked on every Dublin Regulation that has been brought before this House; most of them have moved forward. I do not think this one is going to and I have to say I will try and keep my language parliamentary but it is going to be a real struggle. I understand that many NGOs and experts have been in discussions with the Commission and have basically been told that they need to ‘get real’; that they need to understand what is happening on the ground. These people do, and I think we have a duty to listen to them.
UNHCR, Charter of Fundamental Rights, Jesuit Refugee Service, numerous others – we should be listening to these people. I would agree with what we have been told: Dublin does not work. We never thought it did. We would agree that it puts a huge responsibility on countries because of their geographical situation – that was always obvious, was it not? We also know that Member States need to show solidarity. We heard this from Malta many years ago; we are still waiting for it.
Dublin is only going to have a chance of working if we also take into account asylum seekers themselves, because if you are looking at secondary movement, you need to think why do people move? Dublin fixes you; it gives you one chance. If that is going to be in a country where you think your claim will not be properly examined, where you will not be able to make the contacts with your community, use the language that you have to integrate as we want you to, would you not move? It is your one chance to actually develop your life in any sort of way.
A key point that we made in the last Dublin revision was that the thorough examination of your case was also a foundation of Dublin. Yet, when I look at some of the proposals here – for people who dare to cross a border – that is now being thrown out of the window and the court cases that decided that go along with it. I think there are some really big amendments that need to be made to this proposal."@en1
