lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today marks the beginning of the second year of our mandate as Members of the European Parliament. I hope that the next four years will be better and more fruitful for all of us. I would, however, say that we have started our second year of parliamentary activity on an upbeat by discussing and – tomorrow, I believe – adopting this major initiative on the definition of common standards on asylum procedures. There is nothing more European than this, and I therefore welcome Mr Schmitt’s report. I support the report and agree with every word it contains. A pensioner who, as a member of the Pensioners’ Party, always comes to see me off at Bergamo airport when I come to Strasbourg, said to me: “Yes, I agree. Exiles should be granted asylum. It is right for refugees and those who have been persecuted who have to flee from their own land to be granted asylum, but I live on ITL 700 000 a month which is a day and a half of your travel allowance. Who is going to help me? I would be willing to help and even accommodate asylum seekers.” And I replied, “Do not worry. You will see that the Commission will also use those who do not have work who are admitted into our country to help elderly people who are not self-sufficient and who need help.” In addition to this, I would argue that it is right for the burden of providing asylum to be divided, at last, between all 15 Member States of the European Union. I hope that the Commission will bring this about, starting with the events in Kosovo, so that the States which bore the brunt of providing asylum for Kosovars will be reimbursed by all the other States."@en1
