"Mr President, we have wanted to move forward with the approval of the asylum package for a long time, and the ‘Arab Spring’ and the wave of migration triggered by it have made this all the more urgent. The appropriate response would have been to speed up approval of the asylum package, but instead we responded badly, by restoring temporary border controls and restricting freedom of movement. Europe also scored poorly as regards solidarity. In the light of this, the report before us is particularly important.
We know that the debates on the draft report, both within Parliament and among the European institutions, have been difficult. If we are able to approve the eligibility criteria for international protection, this will be a major step forward for common European policy on asylum and migration, and it will help us to adhere to our values and principles, to protect those who would be subjected to persecution in their home country, and to safeguard the rights of those who seek our help as refugees.
Part of this protection involves fostering social integration through an integrated approach to issues concerning the treatment of aliens, education, social welfare, and employment. The directive provides a good basis for this."@en1
