lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Parliament’s plenary has been studying various proposals to establish a common European asylum system, thereby pursuing the aim of gradually developing a genuine area of freedom, security and justice, which must be open to persons who, in various circumstances, legitimately seek protection in our Community. Recently, at the Estoril meeting, the PPE-DE Group attached importance to these matters by holding their own seminar on this issue, the conclusions of which were reproduced a short while ago by Mr Pirker. We agree with a common asylum policy that contains minimum rules designed to ensure a minimum level of protection for persons in genuine need of it. We also agree with the aim of restricting the secondary movements of asylum seekers by reducing the differences that exist between the legislation and practices of the various Member States in this field, as well as imposing a fair division of efforts between the States. We also agree that refugees, like any persons benefiting from other forms of protection, should be able to live with dignity in the Community of which they are a part, which can only happen if we protect their personal and social rights. In these matters, however, it is better to move slowly and appropriately rather than rapidly and get things wrong. Policies that appear to be very generous end up creating feelings of rejection and increasing xenophobic reactions that we can only condemn. Even following 11 September, we have seen, amongst the public, suspect attitudes and increasing hostility towards asylum seekers, refugees and immigrant communities. From this point of view, we must acknowledge that the Lambert Report has not helped to generate the consensus that would be useful and desirable in these matters."@en1
