"Madam President, on Monday night, I spoke about Brexit and its impact on Ireland’s Good Friday Agreement. This morning, I will focus on desperate refugees who are dying at the border of the EU, yet the Council recommits itself to keeping them out rather than keeping them safe. Rather than reassess the current obvious failings of Europe’s asylum policy, the Council seems content to continue with more of the same. Over 70 000 refugees remain stranded at Europe’s borders. Almost 40 000 men, women, little boys and little girls lie at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The EU-Turkey deal agreed six months ago has failed all tests in relation to humanity and effectiveness. Turkey has experienced a so-called coup and a criminal clampdown by the State. Turkey is not a safe country. Ask the Kurds, ask the journalists, ask political opponents of the regime, ask the Syrian child refugees being forced to work in Turkey’s factories for EUR 1 per hour. Europe and the EU needs to do much, much more about this humanitarian crisis."@en1
