lpv:translated text	". Mr President, first of all I should like to thank the rapporteur for what was generally a balanced piece of work. I do not want to split hairs over a few details therefore. Besides, if we are completely fair, the evaluation is already quite dated. Priority number one, at least as far as the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe is concerned, is to bring the available data from the Member States up to the same standard. Only then will a really good, and therefore effective, evaluation be possible. The Member States really do need to work on this, with the necessary guidance from the European Commission, of course. It is important to emphasise – and obviously I am making a different distinction here from Martine Roure – the fact that, on the basis of the transfer data obtained, we cannot conclude that the Dublin system as such results in a disproportionate transfer burden for the Member States at Europe’s external borders. Of course – and that is what the rapporteur and also what the Commissioner said – the geographical position of these Member States means that they are confronted with a substantial burden. That is precisely the reason why the ALDE Group has been arguing all this time for a compulsory burden-sharing mechanism alongside the Dublin system, not only in terms of financial and material resources but also in terms of putting in manpower on the ground. After all, all 27 Member States are responsible for what is going on at Europe’s external borders. I am also very intrigued, Commissioner, about what exactly you mean by the possibility of temporary suspension. What does that involve? Does it mean that the asylum seeker can choose the Member State he wants to go to, that he is free to travel on? If it does, that would seriously undermine the political message of the Dublin system. In short, just go for the compulsory solidarity mechanism that we have been arguing for all this time. Finally, if the EU wants to retain its credibility, there really does have to be an adequate and consistent level of protection in all 27 Member States. The importance of a proper common asylum procedure and corresponding status cannot be over-emphasised."@en1
