".
Mr President, few refugees are permanently resettled in Europe. My country, Spain, has only just embarked on this experience.
These cases, however, are of urgent need. As well as the news coming out of Tunisia, Members have seen this for themselves during trips to camps in Syria for Palestinian refugees who fled Iraq.
Another more institutional aspect is the balance of power between Parliament and the Council. There are many good parliamentarians, but few are as tenacious as our rapporteur, the courageous Mr Rui Tavares, who has fought to ensure the new powers conferred to the European Parliament under the Treaty of Lisbon have been maintained.
I must also refer to the continued efforts of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), without whom this success would not have been possible. The UNHCR has ensured we are all aware of the urgency of this report over and above the long drawn out legal discussions, so that the funds can be used as soon as possible, given that they are so urgently needed.
Finally, I would like to thank you, Commissioner, and I hope that you and your good heart will have the satisfaction of moving forward with the asylum package next month."@en1
