". Mr President, allow me, first of all, to thank Ms Lambert and congratulate her on taking this huge step, because we could say that Parliament has finally got its act together. We have confirmed here, once again, that we stand for a common asylum and migration policy throughout Europe and that we are, indeed, responsible for ensuring that that gets off the ground. Promises have been made; we have made a promise to each other that, in 2012, we will come up with a joint policy. I am a little worried, however, that we might get stuck again in the Justice and Home Affairs Council next week. The European Parliament knows what it is doing, but I fear that the Member States will end up having a stand-up fight in the street over this. I am getting signs of this from the proposals currently tabled by Member States, which are designed to limit the amount of change effected in Dublin and to ultimately thwart an eventual solidarity clause, where countries which receive small numbers of refugees are required to help out countries which receive a lot of refugees. No, we are looking into new short-term measures, into statistics, into how FRONTEX can be applied even more harshly to protect borders. Nobody is looking into how we might ensure that the European Union is a place where you can feel safe, where you can take refuge, and a place where you definitely know your reception will be coordinated. What we have here is the Qualification Directive, which, in any case, draws a line as to who may be considered to be a refugee. We now have to wait for the Council’s response and for future directives in order to find out what assistance refugees can count on and how we can ensure that they are able to quickly build a new life in our community."@en1
