"Mr President, first of all, a word of thanks and support for Commissioner Malmström. She rightly called on Member States last week to take action again on the whole asylum package. Indeed, it is not an à la carte menu.
The sudden influx of Tunisian refugees is fresh evidence of this. Italy is having the greatest of difficulties in ensuring that proper reception and asylum procedures are followed. If the other Member States continue to just stand by and watch, it will only be a matter of time before the European Court of Human Rights concludes that the transfer of asylum applications to Italy should be suspended, as, in fact, it did in the case of Greece.
It is therefore in everybody’s interests that we develop an emergency procedure within the framework of the Dublin system, as indeed the Commission proposed, and that we quickly put in place binding agreements on reception and a high quality asylum procedure.
I would like to hear from the Commissioner whether she thinks that the relevant MEPs could be of further assistance to her, in terms of persuading the Member States to finally take this much-needed action. In any case, she can count on my commitment."@en1
