".
The European Union has always insisted that the deadline for establishing a common asylum system by 2010 should be maintained. Improving the quality of decisions should bring the policies of the Member States closer together in order to arrive at this common system. Improving the quality of the decisions taken should allow people needing protection to enter the EU safely and to have their applications properly examined.
We must fight the tendency of some people to think that improving decisions on asylum will reduce the number of asylum applications. The common asylum policy must, above all, protect people and guarantee the right to asylum and the principle of non-refoulement according to the Geneva Conventions. I also reject any attempt to externalise asylum applications. This is why I tabled and voted in favour of amendments to the list of safe third countries. I find it worrying that the Commission is considering this list in the absence of codecision for the European Parliament and without awaiting the decision of the European Court of Justice, which we have referred to on this point."@en1
