"The report by my colleague, Mr Triantaphyllides, has been adopted by a large majority. This report comes at an opportune moment in the laborious discussions on asylum policy and the creation of a common European asylum system, discussions which have been going on for years. It sends a clear message to the Commission and the Member States by giving them concrete guidelines for achieving genuine solidarity on asylum in the European Union. The report argues that the relocation process must take the interests of asylum seekers into account when they are distributed among the Member States. During the debates on this report, the Commission stated that the number of asylum seekers had been falling for ten years, basing this on the fall in the number of asylum seekers arriving on European territory. We know all too well what is going on here and how ‘Fortress Europe’ is being constructed to the detriment of migrants’ rights and the international obligations of the EU Member States. This report also allows us to stigmatise the ‘upping the ante’ approach of certain Member States. Let us hope that the Commission will hear this message and rapidly bring forward a legislative proposal that will put an end to the political games of which asylum seekers are bearing the brunt."@en1
