lpv:translated text	"Today, Parliament voted on an own-initiative report on enhanced intra-EU solidarity in the field of asylum. The aim is to be able to provide additional assistance in those countries that need extra help at the moment. It is also important to emphasise the responsibility of the individual countries. For many people, Europe represents the dream of a life in peace, freedom and safety. Thus, when we discuss asylum policy, we are talking about people’s desire to realise these fundamental values. It is therefore regrettable that these people are repeatedly referred to as problems and ‘burdens’, as in this report. It is also important to emphasise that every single country, for purely humanitarian reasons, must have the right to show radical solidarity, and that the talk of harmonisation should not mean that a country steps aside or does not feel motivated to show human kindness. We ought to urge all countries to pursue an asylum policy that entails respect for human rights and freedoms. Despite certain problematic wordings, I chose to vote in favour of the report."@en1
