"Mr President, in saving lives, addressing the criminality of human trafficking and stabilising the EUʼs external borders through cooperation are vital factors. We have a moral duty to assist one another, but I do not believe that this assistance should undermine the key international principle of humanitarian and asylum law: that an individual should be able to seek sanctuary in the first safe country reached.
True solidarity is offering assistance because it is the right thing to do – not through compulsion. I do not believe that quotas and forced relocation are sustainable, democratic or fair to the individuals in question. It is a mistake to have a strategy which addresses all kinds of migration in one document. Economic migration and asylum are two very different issues, with separate challenges, and this joint strategy blurs lines which should be clear.
We do agree on the important role of Frontex, EASO, returns and Eurodac, and the need for increased funding in tackling the issue at source, and we look forward to working with the Commission on this important issue."@en1
