".
Mr President, the key to this integrated and comprehensive approach to asylum and migration is the cooperation of third countries, which will be invited to work in partnership and share responsibility with us to ensure that this well thought-out policy succeeds. This cooperation should be sought through existing instruments, including, in particular, the European Neighbourhood Policy.
The EU must not be seen by third countries as – and here you were right, Commissioner – trying to shift its own responsibilities from our shoulders to theirs. To this end we must demonstrate, in a visible manner, our readiness to assist these countries in enhancing their protection capacity, to be better prepared to provide urgent assistance to countries in crisis, and to ensure the necessary budgetary means other than those already envisaged as development aid. Parallel to third countries, we must be seen to be ready to assume our own responsibilities: the creation of a common European asylum system as called for at Tampere, a fully-fledged regional protection programme by December 2005, and a resettlement scheme based on the absorption capacity of individual Member States.
Finally, enhancing protection capacity in creating protected entry procedures does not mean abandoning the existing right of application for asylum on spontaneous arrival in an EU Member State. I am firmly of the belief that the more the EU succeeds in enhancing protection capacity in the regions of origin and the more it assists third countries in bringing protection capacity up to standard, the more the protected entry procedures from outside the EU will be enhanced; the fewer spontaneous asylum claims will be presented directly to Member States; and the less lucrative the trade of trafficking in human beings will become."@en1
