"This report encourages solidarity between consulates of the EU Member States in helping European citizens and their families, regardless of the nationality of their members, refugees and stateless persons. I am in favour of this and welcome the prospect of such solidarity. However, I am concerned that the budget cuts introduced in the name of austerity, which the majority of this Parliament insisted on, have also undermined the protection that our consulates can effectively provide. I voted in favour of this text to express my support for the principles of consular solidarity that it enshrines, but remain critical of the lack of consistency of the European Commission and Parliament in this matter. I reiterate my opposition to setting up a pointless, expensive and meaningless service in the name of so-called European diplomacy."@en1
